There are four features that I think are really needed to help with scheduling and organizing a project. LiquidPlanner has them, which bumps it up a good few notches in my book.
Taken from their web site it is:
Best Case / Worst Case Estimates
Just estimate a realistic range of time to complete tasks, say 2-4 hours, and LiquidPlanner calculates when you’re likely to complete your work. It takes your availability, vacations, and priorities into account, so you can trust your schedule.
Priority-Based Schedules
Web-based LiquidPlanner helps focus teams on what’s most important: strategic projects and tasks or those with the most revenue potential. Easily prioritize work for the team and see instantly when it will get done.
Automated Schedule Updates
Most teams deal with a constant stream of inbound work. When priorities shift, LiquidPlanner automatically updates the schedule to reflect the changes. Ditto when someone completes a task in one hour, not three.
Alerts
LiquidPlanner alerts you to dependencies (one task depends on completing a prior task), critical paths (if someone’s schedule drives the completion date) or if the project threatens to exceed budgeted hours.
Would it be possible to see this functionality in ProjectLibre?
What do you guys think?
