Tom's Planner is a web based project planning application that enables you to create & share Gantt Charts and project plans with drag & drop simplicity.
Tom's Planner is the ideal starting point for virtually every project and every person because it is truly easy to use.
Tom's Planner is very intuitive, fast and offers great functionalities.... Clients find the Gantt Chart easy to read and understandable. Project Managers in my team like the ease of use. quote
That's why we've chosen a new approach to project planning and creating Gantt Charts. Tom's Planner enables you to work directly in the Gantt Chart instead of only being a viewing option like in most project planning software.
For example: to insert a new time block in your project plan, a context menu will open when you right click your mouse. You can then select the option 'insert time block' and choose a color. The same applies for a context menu that will appear when you right click on the frame that displays activities and groups.
Link tasks to each other so that if one changes the others will follow automatically. In Tom's Planner it's pretty easy to keep your chart up to date manually. But when your project gets larger and changes happen more frequently it might be a good idea to start adding dependencies to your chart. This way you make sure that all following tasks will be updated automatically when you extend or delay a task or milestone.
Tom's Planner has a super easy to use filter panel allowing you to filter your chart by almost anything you like. For instance you can filter your Gantt chart by a name of one of your resources and check it's availibilty. You can also filter by activity status allowing you to get an instant overview of what still needs to be done. By filtering on dates you can, for instance, see what needs to be done today. Allowing you to use Tom's Planner as your daily To Do list.
Simply click on 'import & export' button in the toolbar and select the 'image' option to save your project plan as an image file that can then be included in for example, Word or Excel documents. You can also mail it to others, store it within your project archive, put it on your intranet or include it within any other project management tool you are currently using.
Toms Planner offers you an easy and secure way to share and collaborate on charts with your clients or other people in your team.
You can give others the right to edit or the right to view only for every schedule you stored online.
You can also drag with your mouse over your Gantt Chart to select multiple tasks at once. This makes it possible to create temporary dependencies between different elements in your Gantt Chart.
The minimum requirements in terms of processor speed and memory are hard to determine. We test Tom's Planner on a regular basis on a really basic and almost 8 year old laptop and it runs just fine so we are pretty sure that every computer younger than 5 years will run Tom's Planner without any problems.
