Efficient project planning with advanced impact and delay analysis features
You need to have a good understanding of project management before you build programs using P6. Learning the tool takes time, so you should spend hands-on time with it while developing your project management skills. It's a mix of hands-on work and project management skills. I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.
Prateek Agarwal - PeerSpot reviewer
Notifications of approaching project deadlines help us plan and also avoid delays
Scenario planning is the most important feature. You can easily align strategic management and the portfolios within your organization. It helps you visualize all your strategic plans and the KPIs. It provides that information on a unified dashboard, in which you can track all your resources and the portfolios. It helps senior stakeholders and executives with clear reporting about project intake and demands, in real time. It also has some built-in, reusable templates and you can modify them according to your requirements. You can also create templates and workflows from scratch, so that you can plan things accordingly. The team collaboration is nice compared to other tools. You just add your team members, provide them access and, according to the user's level, they are able to use the application. For example, when we create a new project, we create work streams, timelines, and the sub-tasks. Then we have to think about how many team members are required—the skills of the developers, testers, QA teams, consultants, and marketing. We add those team members to that project and provide them access to their tasks so that we can track their progress in the real time. That really helps us. We might have 35 to 40 team members in different locations using this product simultaneously. In addition, the task management features are useful when you have timelines for project completion and for progress. It shows you any gaps or timelines that you have breached. Task management is very useful, and that would be true in any project management tool. Another helpful feature, because we define timelines in the grant chart for each project, is the time tracking. It is very crucial for us to complete a project on time and meet the deadlines for our clients. The way PPM Pro tackles these is great. It provides a notification to us when a timeline or a sub-task within it is approaching the deadline. Integration with PPM Pro is fine. It provides APIs and the integration mechanism for third-party tools and applications, like Microsoft Office and Microsoft Project. We have only integrated it with Microsoft Excel because we generally capture the requirements and the timelines offline. Because the solution doesn't work offline, in situations where the internet is not available, or we are on-the-go with a client, we capture the requirements in Excel. The integration means we get the data from Excel into PPM Pro.
