inShort: Project & Workflow

As a rule, tasks do not exist on their own, they are usually interrelated, and the best way to show this is to build a diagram of processes. Almost every task in the program can be drilled down to a separate diagram, until the project is broken down into elementary operations. Having constructed a detailed scheme, you can simulate the future execution of the project, what will become the basis for the planned schedule, which can be compared with the current execution of tasks without leaving the program. You can also place some tasks in the Calendar and set reminders on them. 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. *** inShort Pro — application version for experienced and advanced users, contains advanced and service functions useful for in-depth work with diagrams.

Key features: • Building the diagram of processes and resources (PERT network diagram of the project, based on BPMN notation). • Drill down the diagram elements. • Tracking the execution of processes. • Advanced mode of pre-planning. • Integration with the standard Calendar. • Displaying the list of tasks in the form of a Gantt chart. • Separation of physical and information flows. • Export of diagrams into PDF files and OPML outlines. • Ability to specify the expected time of execution, both directly and parametrically. • Working calendars taking into account various schedules of work for implementation of tasks. • Work resources and their assignment to tasks. • Material resources, counting the usage of resources by the diagram. • Localization of work and resources in places. • Queues of tasks: organize the work with active tasks in accordance with the elements of the GTD methodology. • Control lists for diagrams — monitor the sequence of actions with the diagram 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.
