Viewpath is a powerful project management tool which goes beyond traditional project management tools and focuses on the pain on which almost everyone, even the most experienced project managers, experiences – resource management and resource allocation. I speak from experience when I say many organizations – big and small – struggle with resource management. PMs book and overbook their valuable project resources, and often have no clue they might be committing to work no one will be available to perform. I once made over $40,000 very part-time (just a few hours a week) over 4 months just helping an organization get a handle on their resource usage and helping them understand how and why and by how much they were over allocating their current resources. It’s truly an issue for everyone and it’s a chore to get it shored up and under control.
An interactive solution that works
This is where a tool like Viewpath can be a lifesaver for an organization. Viewpath professes to be the only project management solution providing interactive Gantt charts, Resource Allocation graphs, and Agile tools – in one complete solution.
Viewpath's version 3.0 - provides many forward-thinking features to greatly simplify the day-to-day-management of project activities. The 3.0 version uses the latest in enterprise-class architecture to provide the highest level of service performance. And, in terms of resource allocation needs, Viewpath's interactive resource allocation chart is available to upgraded users who need to track resource utilization closely to ensure their projects and resources stay on target. Within the tool, users simply click the chart icon to easily view the workload of all resources on a given project based on availability. Selecting the checkbox for an individual allows you to view the assigned work for a given resource.
Viewpath also lets users set the availability for each person if they are working on more than one project. The system automatically calculates the amount of work hours available each day for assignments on the project. Color-coded, detailed graphical information indicates whether or not available work hours are being fully utilized, under-allocated, or over-allocated. And, as tasks are moved on the Gantt chart, the interactive chart instantly changes the daily level of assigned work. No other online application on the market today provides this fully integrated and truly interactive approach.
