Amisys Schedules Projects with VARCHART XGantt

Executing projects no matter what size or how complex needs good planning and project management skills. Scheduling a project is always a critical factor in this process. Several planning analysis methods help to schedule the given tasks while considering fulfilling time and resource constraints. Nowadays project managers use powerful project management software tools like AmiProjectManager to calculate the optimal project plan. AmiProjectManager is developed by the Korean company Amisys, a leader in project management solutions since 2000. The software supports project managers in planning, coordinating and controlling all kinds of projects.

AmiProjectManager's integrated scheduling engine that is based on the PERT and the Critical Path Method calculates the minimal duration of the project and performs forward and backward scheduling as well as critical tasks analysis. AmiProjectManager not only supports project managers in creating detailed project plans according to constraints, such as activity’s scheduled values for start and finish as well as fixed milestones, but also in identifying key performance indicators that need to be checked.

By using VARCHART XGantt .NET Edition to visualize the scheduled activities AmiProjectManager profits from the versatile interactive functionality of the Gantt control and thus offers user-controlled scheduling. Start, finish and duration values of tasks can be set by a simple mouse click in the table of the Gantt chart. Alternatively task bars can be dragged with the mouse to respond to project changes. The tasks are displayed as work breakdown structure to better control every activity of the task. In the Gantt chart work elements can be inserted or deleted manually and it is also possible to assign activity relationships. This interactive functionality makes AmiProjectManager a very flexible and powerful planning tool.

AmiProjectManager also offers customization options to individually change the color of the summary and activity bars as well as the link thus enhancing the visualization of the Gantt chart and helping to schedule and analyze the project.

In addition AmiProjectManager provides predefined profiles for an easy and flexible calendar management. The day-profile which defines work hour patterns for a day can be assigned to a specific day of the week-profile or calendar to set work hours. The week-profile is a set of day-profiles to set work hours for weekdays.

Project data can be exported to a variety of formats including XML, HTML, and Microsoft Excel. These exported data enables managers to use other family applications to do additional project review and analysis easily. AmiProjectManager has a print button on system menu, so you can quickly print every document including the Gantt chart

Various color schemes are available and the user of the AmiProjectManager software can switch the UI color scheme to his favorite.

AmiProjectManager is a powerful tool that helps project managers to successfully and easily execute projects by meeting the projects' requirements." VARCHART XGantt enables us to create versatile Gantt charts to offer outstanding user controlled scheduling options for any kind of project", says Kim Joon Wan who is responsible for the development of AmiProjectManager.
