Project Management Features of Easy Project

Easy Project is a tool for every project management phase. Use WBS to break down the main project elements and define the items to be delivered. You can schedule tasks in Easy Gantt in just a few clicks. Use the Resource Management tool to easily assign tasks to your colleagues. Use task tracking to track implementation, review performance indicators in the Gantt Chart. After completing the project, evaluate the performance with reporting tools to filter out any weaknesses and opportunities for further development.

Mind Maps

Mind Maps are used for better planning, brainstorming, and creation of project and process diagrams. You can use them to organize your thoughts about any project without having to create tasks. Unlike WBS, they are designed more for the initiation and analysis phase of a project when it is not yet necessary to create tasks and collaborate but, above all, to analyze and think about all parts of the project or process.

Key features:

Create a mind map in the context of a project
Create up to 250 nodes in a single mind map
Limit access to the Mind Maps on your project using roles & permissions
Complement any mind map node with text description, URL, or relation to an existing task
Create a new task straight from the mind map node
Use full-screen view
Your mind map is saved automatically
Variety of useful keyboard shortcuts
Locking mechanism – when you edit your mind map, other users are prevented from editing

Design themes

Easy Project comes with 3 design themes to meet various users' needs - Default, Compact, and Dark. Every user can switch between the themes on his user's profile.

Default theme is designed for most users as it brings standard light-colored graphic layout suitable for typical work, particularly in daylight or well-lit environments at night.
Compact theme is a light-colored theme with the layout of graphic elements much more compacted to display maximum data on one screen, thus reducing the need for scrolling.
Dark theme displays dark surfaces across the majority of the UI, thus helping improve visual ergonomics by reducing eye strain and facilitating screen use in dark environments.

Mobile project management

With the new Easy Project mobile app, you have all your projects under control no matter where you are. You can easily create new tasks on the go as you get fresh ideas, post quick comments to keep things moving, manage your tasks, or track time to individual tasks and projects.

Note: For the full functionality of the mobile app, we recommend using the mobile browser to log in to Easy Project, where you will have access to all the features and functions available.

Critical path of the project

A critical path is a sequence of tasks that cannot be delayed or else the whole project would be delayed. Also, it shows the shortest time that the project can be completed. A task within the project is considered critical if its due date can not be delayed since it would directly affect the project completion date.

Project roadmap

Get an instant overview of your project goals in the form of milestones and all the tasks that need to be completed. With Project Roadmap, you get an instant overview of the whole project plan.

Project Documents

Documents can be attached to tasks and projects and then easily searched, versioned, and edited online. Under the Documents module you can find a complete overview of all the attachments from a specific project and tasks related to each of them.

Custom fields

Make Easy Project your own by creating computed fields customized to your personal needs. They can be created on a variety of entities and can appear depending on trackers and attributes.

Quick Project Planner

Quickly plan complete projects by entering the basic task details: name, duration, and due date. Available through the sidebar of your project page, the planner will allow you to take note of tasks during both the brainstorming and preliminary project definition stages.

Baselines

Assess project performance by comparing it to the original plan. Baselines provide snapshots of the project plan at different moments, allowing you to easily compare the plan to current performance within your Gantt chart.

Personal dashboard for all your needs

Address the needs of multiple users and optimize the flow of daily processes with Personal Dashboards and a portfolio of preset dashboards for typical company roles, such as project managers, support workers, sales reps, and more.

Project templates
