Scheduling with RPlan Schedule Manager – integrated, holistic, goal-oriented


Guarantee the success of your projects by means of integrated, holistic schedule management.
The Schedule Manager module of the RPlan project management software is an ideal tool which ensures that your projects achieve their goals on schedule.

Project planning with a method


Any scheduling system used in development projects must provide all participants with simple, flexible support and deliver enhanced planning transparency and higher quality results. The Schedule Manager module of the Web-based RPlan project management software ties your distributed development projects into an integrated network based on information, communication and collaboration.

Realistically schedule your work packages and tasks (which are visualized clearly in a tabular or Gantt chart view), interlink your own activities and relevant activities of your project partners within and across schedules, thus keeping tight control of your schedules. In RPlan, planning autonomy remains with the planner and is not left to a system algorithm. All project members have current information on the planning status at all times, changes are communicated immediately, and critical situations are countered by taking appropriate, coordinated actions.

Nevertheless, RPlan Schedule Manager is so easy to use that even newcomers to collaborative project management are "up and running" after brief training.
