Always Stay on Top of Things With PLANTA project
You want to keep a perfect overview of dates, resources, and costs of your projects at any time?
You want to get the most out of your project teams and want the project progress to be visible at any time?
PLANTA project lets you plan and control your projects systematically from project application through to the archived project. You can immediately identify free capacities in the utilization of your resources, allowing you to take quick decisions regarding new projects. In the case of changes and arising bottlenecks, you can quickly take counter-measures.
Thanks to elaborated controlling options, you are always up to date on the current project status and possible deviations.
Decide for yourself how you want to keep your data: on-premises or as an SaaS/cloud solution.
project can also be used as a Web Client in addition to the local client. PLANTA software thus remains available via desktop but you can also use it on your tablet or notebook via browser.
PLAN + DECIDE
Plan projects and project applications systematically and establish your own project standard in the company
Individual project management with project templates, customizable process model, company-specific workflows provide your projects with the required structure. Task management, process planning, scheduling help to organize your planning. Cost planning, risk management, financial key figures help to decide for a project.
Via integration with Outlook calendar, project and task dates can be exported from PLANTA project and directly imported in the Outlook calendar. Integration takes place via the universal interface PLANTA link.
CONTROL + OPTIMIZE
Operative resource management allows you to immediately identify free capacities and bottlenecks.
Resource planning without overload: plan the utilization of your resources (personnel, machines, facilities) transparently across all projects. Thanks to skill management you can make perfect use of your employees’ competences.
Identify bottlenecks in good time, use resource simulation and get support from change management.
Powerful capacity planning helps you to prioritize and gives you an overview of the deadlines, costs and quality of your projects.
CHECK + EVALUATE
Always up-to-date project data for project controlling and management
Identify the project progress and deviations in your project planning also in multi-project management. This gives you an overview of all company resources and the cost management at all levels of the project structure.
The PLANTA system allows you to build your own multi-project information system. The extensive project controlling provides meaningful reports at the push of a button as well as status reports and trend analyses based on the integrated time recording. Forecasts of remaining expenses and target/actual comparisons are also possible.
You can monitor your projects more reliably and the integrated risk management and conflict management help you to keep an eye on project risks, allowing you to respond quickly to deviations.

Project Management Process in Single and Multi-Project Management
The project management process includes the planning, controlling, and analyses / conclusion phases of the projects. Adjustable templates for process models, e.g. in accordance with DIN, allow you to set up yur individual company workflow as a project standard using PLANTA project. A defined project process with standards for schedules and resource plans means greater transparency and efficiency in the planning and management of company projects. Resources can be deployed optimally and the projects in the project portfolio can be better controlled in terms of deadlines, costs and quality.
Project Planning
Project planning is the decisive phase in project management. In classic project management in particular, details are planned here in order to define the project framework for deadlines, resources and costs. With the multi-project overview, the interaction of the projects can be analyzed in order to identify cross-project resource conflicts and initiate suitable measures for optimization.
Plan and PrioritizeProject Applications Systematically
Project templates and company specific workflows facilitate the planning of projects. Each project idea in the company is created in line with a clear project standard. The resource request process facilitates outline planning with generic resources like teams or departments. PLANTA project clearly shows the resource utilization across all projects, proposals, and project ideas in the Schedule.
Clear Budget and Cost Planning
The specification of effort and cost budgets sets the framework for a successful project. Project risks and opportunities in multi-project and individual project management can be displayed with probability of occurrence and expected extent of damage and help you to decide for a project idea. Project costs can be transferred from external systems such as SAP via an interface.
Bundle Projects to Programs
Bundling projects to programs helps to maintain an overview of milestones and costs of projects that belong together.
Budget, costs, and effort of the program or of the assigned projects can be displayed as summarized total values or per yearly tranche.

Project Management
The management of a project includes the regular determination of actual data and the evaluation of project progress via previously defined milestones as well as the investigation of deviations from the plan and the initiation of appropriate countermeasures.
Project Structure
A project is divided into plannable parts such as subtasks or work packages and is usually recorded in a hierarchically structured schedule using the classic planning method. Milestones and gates divide the schedule into key stages and make it possible to control the milestones. Approvals can also be controlled via the project workflow. The integrated project time recording provides the actual data for project control and the comparison of the planning data with the project progress achieved.
Project Communication
The Dashboard module is the notification center for current information on the project. Various milestone statuses, the current status of the project as well as budget and cost deviations and forecasts by project team members for additional work etc. are displayed.
Utilization Diagrams
Utilization diagrams clearly show the utilization of the resources including vacation and absence of the employees of the department. In the event of overload or free capacity, measures can be taken quickly to optimize the use of resources.

Project Analysis and Conclusion
Keeping an eye on the progress of a project and the deviations between target and actual values is crucial to its success. Even in the PLANTA project standard system there is a variety of predefined cross-project reports, such as project status reports with project progression history as well as reports on critical project situations like date delay, milestone delay, or budget overrun. By means of the PLANTA customizer component, individual reports can be created and exported to Excel.
Project Progress Overview
Meaningful reports such as status reports and trend analyses can be created at the touch of a button based on the integrated time recording. In the info board, the summarized information on individual projects is visualized in a clearly organized manner: costs, effort, risks, and opportunities as well as earned value and milestone trend data.
Detailed Cost and Budget Overviews
Budgets, costs, and revenues can be grouped according to various parameters (e.g. project code, project manager, customer) and clearly display the current and originally planned status.
