Greater visibility into your project data than you've ever had before.

Imagine scrolling and zooming painlessly with fluid intuitive motions — using our amazing Scroomer™. From the big picture to the finest detail, all project stakeholders can truly view all you do.

Manage Change It's inevitable that, as a project is executed, changes will need to be made when circumstances change. One of the keys to successful execution of your project is effective management of these changes. Vuedoo's unique design makes it easy to do this — to update, track and visualise your project's status, and to clearly see the consequences of any changes you make. Tasks, resources or dependencies may be added or deleted; task's start or duration may change; and tasks may need to be reassigned. Vuedoo's innovative visualisation and fluid drag-and-drop interface helps you stay on top of all this and gives you the thing you want most: control of your project.

Track On-Time Status Like other project management software, Vuedoo marks the current date with a highlighted vertical line for "TODAY". Unlike other project management software, Vuedoo has an innovation that highlights which tasks are behind or ahead of schedule, by marking them in bright red or green respectively. This draws your eye to what needs attention right now. But wait, there's more…! These red and green dashed lines along the top of the bar not only tell you the that a task is late or early, but by how much. Obviously, the further behind a task is the more urgent it is that a solution be found. Another important factor in determining the significance of a late task is whether or not it is on the critical path. The critical path is a sequence of linked tasks where there is no room for slippage without pushing out the final delivery date. Non-critical tasks have some room to move without affecting the delivery date; this is known as slack or float, and is indicated by the link arrows being grey. A sequence of linked tasks from the beginning of the project to the end in which every arrow is red is a critical path.

Re-Estimate Tasks If a task is shown as late, this in fact indicates that some of the entered date is wrong — either the task duration was under-estimated or the percent complete is not up-to-date. After ensuring that the percent complete is correct, if a task is still shown as late then clearly the estimate is wrong. A simple way to find a better estimate, based on the work done so far, is to drag out the task duration until the percent complete marker aligns with the TODAY line. Of course this may be too simplistic, as it assumes an even distribution of work throughout the task duration, and there may be other extenuating circumstances, such is the task being front-loaded or back-loaded. But it can often be a useful trick in the absence of any other information.

Reassign Tasks One critical factor in creating and maintaining a schedule is to ensure that all tasks are assigned to somebody. In a Gantt chart you can't normally see this clearly as you have to scan up and down the entire task list, looking for an empty cell in the assignment column; or you can apply an "unassigned" filter, but you need to remember to do so. In the Tufte chart, a permanent special resource row at the bottom of the chart groups all unassigned tasks together, and the unassigned "resource" is highlighted in bright red when the number of unassigned tasks is greater than zero. (Otherwise it is grey.) You don't have to remember to check a special filter, because the unassigned row is always there and highlighted when needed. and of course, with the Tufte chart, when assigning the task, it is trivially easy to see who is free and when, and then assign by simply dragging the task to the appropriate row

View All You Do Vuedoo's Scroomer, it's project overview and the Tufte Chart's clean, compact display and fully integrated data mean that you can keep your eye on the big picture at all times. And the subtle yet clearly highlighted progress markers, early/late status and resource interdependencies mean that you can immediately perceive what needs your attention right now. This enhanced visibility into your project data means you are better able to understand the wider effects of local changes and makes it much less likely that you will miss any dropped balls. In particular, being able to easily see the dependencies between people, not just tasks, is critical to effectively managing a team as they execute the project. Finally, Vuedoo's in-context help, intuitive direct manipulation and beautiful visualisation mean that you spend less time figuring out how to use the software and more time managing your project.
