Core features
Powerproject puts you in control, letting you tailor the project plan to suit your audience using customisable views, simple printing, and powerful reports. See the relevant information throughout the project lifecycle to ensure data is presented clearly and adapted to your needs.
Plan your project in the style that suits you. Build compact schedules by displaying multiple tasks and overlapping activities on the same line to represent construction stages. Or add hierarchies by grouping tasks into sub-projects, phases, or trades to help summarise and present your plan clearly.
Work seamlessly with others, using project data book in/book out to engage with subcontractors or communicate progress updates to stakeholders via filters, codes, and annotations. Download the free project viewer to make sharing and accessing the latest plans easy.
Powerproject allows you to develop multiple ‘what if’ scenarios to explore the best outcome for your project; whether that is comparing different methods of construction or finding ways to accelerate project delivery, Powerproject clearly displays the evidence needed to communicate your plans.
Cost and time go hand-in-hand. Manage both together in Powerproject, analysing budgeted costs, planned costs and actual costs all against time. Model cost data using man-hours, quantity, fixed and variable rates. Report on earned value and maintain change history over time.
Make the complex management of people, plant, and materials simple with easy, visually clear steps. See who is needed against a view of their existing commitments. Balance availability, quantity and effort to maintain schedule and budget. Manage multiple variables including different shift patterns, work rates, overtime, and skills.
The Schedule Quality Check in Powerproject runs checks against your plan to identify compliance against industry or company standards. You can determine the parameters of your own checks or use the pre-configured industry metrics developed in partnership with the DCMA and CIOB.
A built-in risk analysis tool assesses project risks to create more accurate and attainable schedules that keep to time and budget. Identify tasks most likely to cause delays or cost overruns; and assess the likelihood of a project finishing on a particular date, of costing a certain amount or of generating a set income.
Multiple progress period tracking and unlimited baselines make capturing and recording snapshots of actual progress against the original project plan possible over time; providing a complete picture of the projects evolution to provide the answers and evidence needed to overcome project performance challenges or disputes.
