It has various functions required for project management and is well received by the majority of engineers.

6. Project Scheduler

Project scheditor is a product of scitor, which helps users manage various activities in the project. Resource priority setting and resource balance of Project SchedulerAlgorithmIt is very practical. By using the project group, you can observe a main progress plan in multiple projects and analyze updates. Data can be adjusted and summarized through the work breakdown structure, organization Breakdown Structure, and resource breakdown structure. Project scheduler provides a unified resource tracking worksheet, allowing you to evaluate resource costs and utilization based on the data of a cycle, as well as the detailed "what if" analysis function to connect to the database through ODBC.

7. time line

Time line is Symantec's product. Although it is a little difficult for beginners to use, it is still the first choice for experienced Project Management Managers. In addition to all the functions of project management, it also has the report function and strong function of connecting to the SQL database.
