This application offers a unique approach to project management, which represents your project not just as a plan, but as a coordinated mechanism moving towards the goal. The original technique allows you to break down project objectives into smaller goals, processes and resources, but not get lost in the details, but always see the overall structure of the project as a whole. After all, project management is not a mechanical observance of the plan, but the achievement of project goals, which should not be overlooked. The application combines the classic project approach based on Gantt charts and project management through workflow diagrams. As a rule, Gantt charts are ideal for presenting project schedules, but they are not so convenient for reflecting the complex structure of the relationship between processes, goals and resources. More formally, the program allows you to build a customized, based on the BPMN notation, PERT diagram of the project (with events and processes at nodes). Then this description of the project is used to generate a Gantt chart and track the progress of the project. So, inShort is a powerful project and business process management tool, which can be applied not only in office but also for personal purposes. You can further explore the capabilities of the program with the detailed interactive User Guide. Key features of the application: . Building the diagram of processes and resources of the project (PERT network diagram of the project, based on BPMN notation). . The ability to drill down the elements of workflow diagrams. . Tracking the execution of the project. . Integration with the standard Calendar. . Displaying the list of project tasks in the form of a Gantt chart. . Separation of physical and information flows of the project. . Ability to specify the expected time of execution, both directly and parametrically. . Export of charts into PDF files and OPML outlines. . Project management according to the methodology of the Theory of Constraints. . Working calendars taking into account various schedules of work for implementation of tasks. . Work resources and their assignment to tasks. . Queues of tasks: organize the work with active tasks in accordance with the elements of the GTD methodology. . Checklists for diagrams - monitor the sequence of actions for project management step by step. Advanced features of project management in accordance with the Theory of Constraints technique: . finding the critical path; . positioning of time buffers of the project; . calculation of buffer sizes; . calculation of late starts for feeding paths of the project; . tracking of time indicators during project execution. *** inShort Pro - application version for experienced and advanced users, contains advanced and service functions useful for in-depth work with diagrams. Functions included in inShort Pro: . Working with layers of diagrams; . inReview: publications of user diagrams surveys by experienced project managers, indicating successful findings and weaknesses in the diagrams. The procedure for sending diagrams for analysis is described in the Terms of Use. The inShort Pro version is available by monthly subscription. Subscription automatically renews unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. inShort Pro Subscription Terms of Use link: http://www.shortki.com/inShort/proTerms.html *** Cannot solve a problem?
