Hi,
We're new users of ConceptDraw Project, and while planning, here are some things that I would think would be important for us as Managers, to improve our efficiency with ConcptDraw Project:
1. When I enter two or more tasks, under a parent task, and assign to the same Resource, my approach would be that this should by default become "Finish-To-Start" predecessor-tasks. This would help in cutting down on the long process of defining each task as predecessor.
2. From the Resource Usage view itself a Manager should be able to change dates of a task in the case of over-booking of a Resource. Currently I have to go back to that specific project view and change the dates, and in that view I have no reference of what dates the clash is on. I am not sure whether more Managers on this community would feel the same or no.
3. Seamless integration with ConceptDraw Map is a fantastic idea. The complete planning of a project, including the visualisation of the Critical path of the project somehow must be done in ConceptDraw Map, and then brought into seamlessly into ConceptDraw Project. This will provide a beautiful way of planning a project for managers. (I believe the seamless integration is already under development)
Thanks,
Rahul
