What is "Intelligent Project Scheduling?"

Project schedules often start as lists of the steps that have to take place before a project is considered complete. Tasks are often given durations, or estimated time frames to complete the work. A good project schedule will also have relationships (dependencies) between tasks. For example, task B cannot get started until task A is complete. Or, task C and D can work in tandem, but must be complete before task G can get started.

Project Insight: web based project management software allows project managers to enter in the tasks and their estimated durations of time, and the relationships between tasks. Then Project Insight automatically calculates the start and end dates and times for each task. Because Project Insight is web based project management software that can be installed on your own in-house or external server, members receive information and communicate in real time. Your network will have access to new scheduling information instantly whether your team members are in the office or off-site.

Why is intelligent scheduling so important?

First and foremost, the reason most folks are searching for a project management software tool, is so that they can reduce their administrative load and handle projects with a higher degree of accuracy and efficiency. Intelligent or duration-based scheduling can save you a lot of time and make accurate information readily available to all of your team members!

For example, in Project Insight, if your project's start date gets delayed for whatever reason, and your tasks are set up with proper relationships, all you need to do is to edit the start date of the entire project and your schedule will automatically shift, regardless of whether the project has 10 tasks or 1000 tasks. But imagine what would happen if your project got delayed and you had to change the start and end dates for every task and your project were 100 tasks long! It might take hours instead of minutes to make those modifications--an administrative nightmare.

What to look for when you are evaluating web based server solutions

Intelligent scheduling for projects is the standard for commonly used desktop project management software applications and of the high-end, Project Management Institute compliant software applications. The ubiquity of these mechanisms for scheduling tasks, gives evidence of their importance.

Project Insight is a mid-range web based project management solution. However, not all mid-range solutions perform dependency calculations or duration-based scheduling. It may not always be obvious whether or not a particular project management solution uses intelligent scheduling. That is why it is important to ask the company representative to demonstrate the feature before you make a purchasing decision.
