What's So Great About Visual Planning?

10/2/2012

You wouldn't head out on a family vacation without some idea of where you were going, what you were going to do when you got there, and how long you were going to stay, right?

Then why would you try to run your business without answering any of those questions?!

As knowledgeable or as passionate as you may be about your industry, you can't expect to see success if you're flying blind.  Until you come up with a plan, you and your employees will never be on the same page.

And that's where visual planning comes in!

Visual planning is a business term that simply means coming up with a strategy for your business -- whether it's a plan for a new product, for a special project, or for the way your company operates as a whole.  After all, unless everyone knows what the end goal is, you won't be able to work efficiently to get there!

Thanks to visual planning software (like what we offer here at Ganttic), you can keep everyone on the same page, without having to hold a bunch of meetings or waste a ton of time.  Instead, everyone can have the details of the plan right on their computer screens.

That way, when it comes time to reschedule something, change something, or evaluate something, everyone will be able to see it.  Plus, everyone will be able to see what everyone else is responsible for.  It's like getting a bird's eye view of the entire project!

Luckily, visual planning isn't tough to do.  In fact, here at Ganttic, we designed our software to be as user-friendly as possible (with things like color-coding and click-and-drag).  That way, you spend less time fiddling with the software and more time working towards your goals…

…Isn't that the way it's supposed to be?!
