Visualize cross-project, cross-team work on a timeline: A Project Manager or Portfolio Manager can quickly see the start and finish dates for tasks, their dependencies, grouping and progress, critical path, and scheduling conflicts.
Visualize resource allocation: A Project or Portfolio Manager can see how their resources are being used within a project or a portfolio of projects and identify where the resources have been over- or under-allocated.
Manage the plan: A Project Manager is able to quickly change things right on the Gantt chart – move tasks around, create dependencies, resolve scheduling conflicts. That speeds up planning while delivering comprehensive results.
Manage resource availability on global scale: A Project Manager can easily assign work to available resources based on calendars, time zones, capacity, and availability periods. That simplifies situational planning with respect to vacations or changing team size.
