Work breakdown structure diagrams support project coordination, team spirit, information flow, communication, and documentation. The diagram is the basis for the assignment of activities to resources. Therefore the work breakdown diagram becomes an indispensable and efficient controlling tool. It supports the scheduling, calculation and commercial analysis by simplifying the selection and sorting of working units by costs and dates.

Features

• Cut, copy, and paste nodes.
• Vertical or horizontal arrangement of nodes
• Arrange automatically or manually by Drag & Drop
• Create sub-trees via filters.
• Place text and graphics boxes in the diagram area to show additional information, graphics or your company logos.
• Collapse and expand subtrees.
• Data-driven visualization of your data using filters and maps
• Display texts and graphics in node fields
• Data fields inside or outside the node frame
• Specify horizontal and vertical node distances.
• Integrated Worldview (navigation window with complete view of the diagram) to make the navigation in large work breakdown structure diagrams easier
• Flexible selection options for multi-projects
  
  
  

Group activities by any data field and display a time-orientated arrangement using any interval. Even large projects are clearly readable.

The node appearance and the node contents can be specified individually. Using filters, you can graphically display the appropriate information for each occasion. Use the mouse to create, move or delete nodes and links interactively.

Features

• Create subnets via variable filters or subnets consisting only of the nodes marked.
• Show a date ribbon above or below the diagram.
• Integrated Worldview (navigation window with complete view of the diagram) to make the navigation in large net charts easier.
• Display the critical path.
• Place text and graphics boxes in the diagram area to show additional information, graphics or your company logo.
• Links are drawn automatically.
• Group the nodes by any criteria
• Time-orientated arrangement of network diagrams
• Legend for the clear identification of nodes
  
  

You can assign tasks to staff members with the mouse and switch between project- and resource-orientated views at a click. Start your project by creating the graphical structure in a work breakdown structure diagram and then supplement the date information in the Gantt diagram.

Features

• Split the timescale into sections of varying detail.
• Magnify the section where you need to see details.
• Activities can be scheduled automatically or manually triggered. The integrated scheduler calculates the critical path, total float etc.
• Several activities per row: ideal for displaying absences, holidays, maintenance intervals, etc.
• Specify bar/symbol layers individually to display any dates for each activity
• StartUp and SlowDown layers for start-up and slowdown phases of processes
• Display the degree of completion of tasks or activities using a special bar layer.
• The length of the layer is derived automatically from the data.
• Display your graphics in symbol layers.
• Each bar layer can be annotated with several data field contents or constant texts
• Select the calendar and specify it individually.
• Display summary bars for any grouping level to graphically display the whole time range of activities in a group.
• Multi-level grouping
• Place text and graphics boxes in the diagram area to show additional information, graphics or your company logo.

You can choose between two alternatives: The histogram curves can be generated automatically from the activities, e.g. to display capacity utilization. Or you can set curve values interactively, e.g. to display the availability of resources. The curve appearances can be specified individually by comfortable dialogs. 

Data Interface for Microsoft Project
You can import project data from Microsoft Project 2000 / 2002 / 2003 into GRANEDA Dynamic with the push of a button. Edit the data in GRANEDA Dynamic and export it right back to Microsoft Project.
