Review:

PlanBee is a Critical Path Project Management planning tool. It is a less expensive alternative to MS Project. It is more powerful and helpful because it was not designed by Microsoft, but by project management specialists. It shows all project data in a spreadsheet pattern for ease of understanding.

Independent re-sizeable and hideable windows show PERT views and Gantt (bar chart) views of the project in addition to the spreadsheet view. Pop up "working day" calendar with 200 year range. Reports, PERT charts and Gantt charts may be either printed or copied to the clipboard.

When in need of accurate planning for large projects with lots of features, deadlines and such, you can revert to PlanBee project management planning tool.

It allows you to specify tasks and their durations, and will then calculate the earliest and latest start and finish dates for each task, based on dependency links which you give it. It will calculate "Float", the amount of spare time that a given task has in the schedule as an indication of how important that task is to the overall timing of the project. The results are made available to you in several forms, either for printing or for incorporation in other documents or programs.

Conclusion:

Useful and cheap, PlanBee project management planning tool meets the standards required for a good and reliable project organize.
