PLANTA Project is a project management software for the administration and control of several projects of a company that share the same resources. Planta Project is the successor product of the multi-project management system PPMS, which Planta has continuously developed since 1980. In contrast to its predecessor PPMS, Planta Project offers process-oriented project management (according to DIN 69901-2 , PMI , PRINCE2 or can be individually defined) with a completely revised, workflow-oriented interface. The open source script language Python is the basis for the new user interface of PLANTA Project. The MS .NET technology with panel technology allows the user to position the windows as desired.
Planta Project is rated by independent PM experts as flexible multi- project management software with particular strengths in the area of project and portfolio controlling.
"Its strength lies in the combination of a well-developed resource and time management module with coherent portfolio management and budgeting functionality."
"Its strength lies in the combination of a well-developed resource and time management module with uniform portfolio management and budgeting functionality."
Planta Project can be used as a hybrid system with Planta pulse. Projects can be planned and controlled via Planta Project, parts of the project or entire projects can be outsourced to Planta pulse via Planta pulse and processed there in an agile manner in project teams. All data from Planta pulse can be synchronized with PlantaProject via web services.
Planta pulse "can be used as an independent, web-based solution for agile project management. However, it also works with Planta Project. This enables integrated, hybrid project management."
description
There is no quantitative limit to the number of projects that can be managed, so the entire project portfolio of a company can be managed, regardless of whether it is initially a project idea or a project that has already been planned with deadlines, resources and costs acts. A special feature of Planta Project as a real multi-project management software is the clear presentation of the resource planning across all projects of the company, which allows statements at a glance to what extent resources are free in a certain department at a certain point in time, for example for a special customer order. The planning module provides detailed, hierarchical work breakdown structures and milestone planning including milestone trend analysis as well as the presentation of the schedule as a bar chart ( Gantt ).
The name Planta is derived from "planning board", which is an aid in project management for the clear presentation of resources.
