Planner

Planner is a handy software application which was specifically designed in order to help individuals better organize their projects, and therefore becoming more productive.
This utility splits your projects into tasks and resources, while also including a number of important information. For example, the first mentioned option include name, start and finish date, duration, costs, person assigned, notes, predecessors and completion status (expressed in percentages). Resources can refer to employees or materials, and you can input here details such as name, type, e-mail, costs, calendar and notes.
The interface is simple and intuitive, enabling both novice and power users to easily work with Planner, without encountering issues. In addition to that, it is comprised of a navigation pane, so that you can easily toggle the overall Gantt chart, tasks and resources.
It is also possible to view resource usage, along with name, task and a graphical representation of the number or hours or days the project is going to last.
This program supports import from XML formats, while exporting can be done to HTML files. You can undo and redo actions, zoom in and out of charts, print projects directly from the main window, as well as preview the printing job in a Paint window.
The calendar can be customized, along with day type (working, nonworking) and working time (e.g. from 8 a.m. to 17 p.m.).
With a comprehensive User Guide, a myriad of options and a very efficient method of viewing tasks, Planner proves to be a useful piece of software. CPU and memory usage is minimal, meaning that your computer’s performance will not suffer, and response time is good.
