Introducing ScheduleReader Version 9.9

At Synami, we continuously innovate to empower project professionals with tools that enhance visibility, control, and collaboration across complex project schedules.

Today, we are excited to announce the release of ScheduleReader 9.9, packed with new capabilities designed to help you manage risks, customize views, and streamline your project analysis like never before.

Let’s dive into the key features of this latest version and explore how they can benefit your projects and organization.

Risk Management Module: Proactive Risk Insights at Your Fingertips

One of the most anticipated additions in ScheduleReader 9.9 is the Risk Management Module. Now, users can view detailed information about risks (and opportunities) assigned to the project, including risk name, impact, probability, and response strategies embedded in project plans saved as XER or XML files.

Benefits for Project Professionals:

With this module, project managers and risk analysts can move from reactive firefighting to proactive risk management. Early visibility into risks supports better decision-making, improves risk awareness and response coordination, and ultimately increases the chances of project success.

Enhanced WBS Customization: Color Your Work Breakdown Structure

ScheduleReader 9.9 introduces the ability to customize WBS (Work Breakdown Structure) bands with different colors and text properties. Users can personalize the appearance of WBS rows to highlight phases, departments, or priority levels.

Key Highlights:

  • Customize colors and fonts for WBS bands.
  • Save your personalized WBS layout for consistent reporting and review.

Why It Matters:

Visual differentiation in the WBS helps teams quickly identify critical sections of the project, improving clarity during reviews and presentations. This customization supports better communication, quicker schedule reviews and allows easier focus on key project components.

Timescale Font & Color Customization: Tailor Your Gantt View

Now you can customize the Gantt table header and timescale with your preferred background colors and font styles, and save these settings in your layout.

Advantages:

  • Enhance readability by choosing color contrasts that suit your screen or print preferences.
  • Maintain consistent branding or visual themes across project reports.

This feature ensures your Gantt charts are not only informative but also visually clear, readable and aligned with your organization’s standards or your personal preferences.

Include “Title” and “Name/Description” in Grouping

ScheduleReader 9.9 allows you to determine the text that displays on the grouping band.

How This Helps:

Having more descriptive WBS band names by inserting field names and descriptions reduces the need to drill down into details, speeding up project reviews and improving understanding among stakeholders who may not be familiar with project jargon.

New Label Positions in Gantt Chart: Flexibility in Visualization

You can now choose different positions for labels within the Gantt Chart, tailoring how task information is displayed.

Benefits:

This flexibility helps optimize space and readability, especially in complex schedules with many overlapping tasks, ensuring critical information is visible without clutter.

Included “Date” Fields in Custom Filter Dialog

With ScheduleReader 9.9, you can create custom filters using date fields, enabling more precise filtering of activities based on date-related criteria.

Practical Use Cases:

  • Filter tasks starting within a specific timeframe.
  • Quickly isolate overdue activities or upcoming milestones.

This feature streamlines your ability to focus on the most relevant parts of your schedule for reporting or analysis.

Present the Project on Current or Data Date: Instant Contextual Access

When opening a project plan, you now have the option to start viewing the schedule at the Current Date or Data Date on the Gantt Chart.

Why It’s Valuable:

This saves time by immediately positioning you at the most relevant point in the timeline, enhancing efficiency during status updates, progress tracking, or schedule reviews.

Why ScheduleReader 9.9 is a Game-Changer for Project Management

  • Risk Visibility: Empowering risk-aware project management.
