How does GamePlan help your business?

Visual Project Planning

GamePlan’s unique Whiteboard is a visual planning workspace and a powerful communication tool. Visual planning is easy, so everyone on your team can plan with no training required.

The Whiteboard communicates the plan to your team, your board, investors and clients. Effective communication is essential for business success.

Reliable Project Scheduling

Achieving your deliverables on time is critical for any business. GamePlan shows exactly when you will deliver based on your team size and their availability, allowing you to communicate deliverable dates with confidence.

As you visually plan on the Whiteboard, a resource-leveled schedule is automatically created and presented on the GamePlan Gantt chart. GamePlan shows you if your due dates are achievable.

Accurate Project Costing

Every business needs to manage cash flow, therefore it is critical to forecast costs correctly and to stay on budget.

GamePlan calculates exactly how much projects will cost so you can create accurate budgets. GamePlan also creates cost schedules that show when expenses will be incurred.

When there are changes to a project, GamePlan shows how the change affects the project cost.

Clear Project Communication

In a business you need to communicate business plans internally with your team, to the board, to investors and to clients.

Everyone understands a plan in GamePlan because it is presented visually on the GamePlan Whiteboard.

Understanding the plan promotes buy-in from the team, encourages relevant questions from the board, and gives clients and investors confidence in you.

Clear project communication is essential for project success, and there’s no better way to communicate a project plan than with GamePlan.

Easy Project Tracking

There are unknowns with any business, and often these unknowns cause delays. GamePlan immediately shows how any delay affects your deliverable dates.

If due dates cannot slide, you can easily test changes to your plan, such as adding staff or reducing scope.

GamePlan gives you the information you need to bring your deliverable dates back on time.

How GamePlan helps others

S.M. Boyce Author

GamePlan is a lifesaver. It’s exactly what I needed, both for personal projects AND for business. The collaboration tools, Gantt chart, and personnel features are exactly what I’ve been scouring the web, looking for. No one does it like GamePlan, and I’m so grateful I found them! It’s my secret weapon.

Michael Berman Project Manager, Anafim.biz - Design and Construction

Why are you not famous? I don’t understand why you are not all over the web!! This is the best scheduling program by far – incredible! This is what Gantt should look like in every program!!

Lloyd Damp Aerospace Engineer, Australian Defence Industry

Using GamePlan our team can quickly construct all the expected tasks, milestones and major meetings we foresee and use them to estimate the required resources and projected Project completion date. The use of GamePlan has greatly reduced our project planning timelines and is allowing us to focus more on our core business.

    GamePlan Benefits

    Features Which Make GamePlan Stand Out

    Gameplan imports data from Microsoft Project, Excel and Google Sheets, so you can quickly get started with GamePlan.

    This animation shows a Microsoft Project Plan being imported into GamePlan. Without GamePlan, the plan is difficult to understand. Imported into GamePlan, the project plan becomes crystal clear.

    Everyone understands a project plan presented in GamePlan. And improved understanding leads to improved project success.

    GamePlan’s Whiteboard is completely flexible. Many other tools show tasks on a Kanban board, but with a Kanban board you are constrained to showing your tasks in columns.

    In GamePlan you have no constraints. Some of our users prefer left to right, others top down, and some prefer a circular layout. Whatever your preference, in GamePlan you can lay out your project plan in the way that helps you best understand the plan and communicate it to others.

    GamePlan brings you the best scheduling technology on the market today. When any change to the project plan is made on the Whiteboard, the project schedule is immediately updated.

    Task management tools (Asana, Monday, Basecamp, …) do not produce project schedules at all. Project scheduling tools (Microsoft Project, Primavera, …) create schedules, but not seamlessly. In these tools, you make changes to the plan, and then you need to click a ‘Level’ button to generate a new resource-leveled schedule.

    Only GamePlan instantly creates a new, optimized, resource-leveled schedule with every change made on the Whiteboard. This makes GamePlan the most efficient project management software for testing different scheduling scenarios.

    Costing a project is an important part of successful project planning. Project costing allows you to prioritize profitable projects, make informed funding decisions, manage cash flow and track financial performance.

    GamePlan makes project costing easy. Simply enter fixed and variable costs for people and equipment, and project costs are automatically calculated.

    GamePlan calculates the overall project cost and produces a daily cost schedule. The cost schedule shows you when costs will be incurred, which helps you manage project cash flow.

    Need to reduce costs? Show the cost of each task on the Whiteboard to see where you can trim.

    There is simply no better way than GamePlan to communicate a project plan because everyone understands a plan presented on GamePlan’s Whiteboard.

    Save the Whiteboard to a PNG file for easy printing and sharing. Save the Gantt chart to a PDF file for easy printing and sharing.

    Dynamic reporting in GamePlan allows anyone, with a single click, to see what they are assigned to work on and when.

    A dynamic Gantt chart showing the project status can be bookmarked and checked from any device, even without a GamePlan account.

    Emails can be created and sent directly from GamePlan to notify team members when subtasks are ready for them.

    Project communication is easier with GamePlan, and better communication leads to better project success.

    How is GamePlan different from other project management software?

    You plan your project by drawing your project workflow on the GamePlan Whiteboard. As you plan, the project schedule automatically updates and is displayed in a Gantt chart. Only GamePlan delivers true resource-leveled project scheduling through a visual Whiteboard user experience.

    Beware of task management tools (Asana, Monday, Trello…) that show a Gantt chart. In these tools the start and end dates are entered by the user. This is dangerous because when people see a Gantt chart, they believe it is achievable. When it isn’t, due dates are missed and the team is stressed trying to meet unachievable deadlines.

    GamePlan’s Gantt chart is created by GamePlan’s proprietary algorithms which create a schedule that is optimized and achievable.

    Task Management vs. Project Scheduling

    Task-Management-vs-Project-Scheduling1.png

    It’s important to understand the difference between task management tools and project scheduling tools.

    Examples of task management tools are Asana, Monday and Trello. Examples of project management tools are Microsoft Project and GamePlan.

    With task management tools you create tasks and assign task due dates. These tools show when tasks are due, but give no indication if the dates are achievable. When a delay occurs, these tools tell you that you’re late, but they can’t help you further.

    Task management tools work well when a project is NOT time sensitive. However, if time is important, only scheduling tools show you what is achievable and keep you on track to meet the project deliverables.

    GamePlan

    GamePlan offers visual project planning and management solutions to help companies and project managers stay ahead of their deadlines.

    The GamePlan Whiteboard provides you with a powerful communication tool that enables visual planning and collaboration between teams. GamePlan also offers other tools to help you with project management, including budgeting and tracking.

    If you are wondering how GamePlan can help you, here’s a comprehensive list of the tools and services offered by GamePlan to change the way you manage projects:

    Visual Project Management Software

    Visual project management allows project managers to visualize their workflows, making it possible to improve planning, communication, and collaboration between teams.

    Visual project management tools

    These include Gantt charts and roadmaps, charts and graphs for reporting, and Scrum and Kanban boards. As opposed to text-based project management solutions that are cumbersome and often confusing, visual project planning simplifies the whole project management process for project leaders by allowing them to visualize their project and deadlines and make changes in real-time to always stay on track. As the map is visual, changing one parameter can show its impact on other factors, making resource planning and managing deadlines effortless.

    A few benefits of visual project management software include:

    • People generally understand visual data better than text, helping them stay organized and make informed decisions throughout the project.
    • Easier to plan and collaborate between teams.
    • Easily visualize various start and stop points in the project without creating manual tasks for everything.

    GamePlan offers you an automatic visual planning software that crunches data points to present the various outcomes of your project as you modify the basic variable in real-time.

    Gantt Chart

    A Gantt chart is a bar chart that lets you lay out your project’s schedule. You can do so by outlining your tasks on the vertical axis with respect to time intervals marked on the horizontal axis. A bar is created for every task to represent the start and stop times throughout the duration of the project. This helps you create a horizontal timeline for your projects to determine which projects can be completed simultaneously and ones that must be performed in a particular sequence.

    You can find various free Gantt chart makers online to help you get a comprehensive view of your projects. You can use Gantt charts to understand the duration of multiple tasks, resource usage, and your team’s workload. Gantt chart makers are available online that will automatically project your tasks on the screen as you input the start and stop dates.

    Gantt Scheduling Software

    Gantt charts can add a lot of productivity to your projects. With a powerful Gantt scheduling software, you can furnish your deliverables by knowing exactly when you will deliver tasks, depending on your team size and other variables.

    While there are several Gantt chart project management software on the market, GamePlan has created a visual project management tool like no other. GamePlan offers you a dynamic Whiteboard to plan your project. An automatic resource-level schedule is created and presented on the GamePlan Gantt Chart as you work on this Whiteboard. In this view, you can see if the due dates are achievable.

    The schedule is automatically updated and displayed in a Gantt chart as you continue planning. So, if you miss a deadline, you’ll automatically see other things shift on your chart to ensure your team is not trying to meet unachievable deadlines.

    Project Management Software

    A project management software is a productivity tool used to plan, organize and allocate resources to manage projects. Project management tools can help teams collaborate better by defining roles and responsibilities and keeping track of each task’s progress.

    There can be different types of project management software. Visual project management software like those by GamePlan are becoming increasingly popular owing to features like automated online Gantt charts, resource optimization, and budgeting tools.

    GamePlan Whiteboard

    The GamePlan Whiteboard is a visual planning workspace that doubles as a powerful communication tool. It enables visual project planning for the entire team without any training to get started.

    The Whiteboard can be accessed and edited by multiple team members, making it an effective project management tool for communication.

    Compared to most other project software that show tasks on a Kanban board or in columns, you are not restricted to any typical format on the GamePlan Whiteboard. It allows you to choose your preferred visual layout to communicate your plan to your teams.

    Mind Mapping Project Management Software

    Mind maps were introduced almost half a century ago and have proven highly effective as visual project planning tools. However, most types of software require you to create mind maps manually and then export them for scheduling. This makes it challenging to integrate new ideas, leading to inefficiencies. In GamePlan, we have combined visual planning with project scheduling. We automatically create the schedule as you mind map, updating your schedule in real-time with every change.

    Project Management Software for Salesforce

    If you use Salesforce, GamePlan’s project management software for Salesforce will help you automate the entire sales funnel. With our visual project management software, you can reduce manual work, optimize lead tracking, and close deals quickly. You also get a single pane of glass view as a manager to monitor your team’s performance and how each member performs at every stage of the funnel.
