FlexiProject key strengths
A good Hadrone alternative covers five areas of everyday team work.
Keep every project conversation in one place.
Each project has its own chat, archived together with it. Comments and mentions sit on tasks, so the decision stays next to the work it concerns.
Plan routine work next to project work.
Recurring duties such as reporting or support run outside projects, with an owner and a cycle. They take time from the same availability as project tasks.
See real availability, leave included.
Time off comes in from Outlook and lowers each person’s daily availability. Workload shows by department, person and project.
Move plans between MS Project and the browser.
Schedules import from .mpp files and export to MS Project XML, both in the licence. Tasks link through four dependency types with a fixed lag.
Reuse what earlier projects have learned.
Templates and their products carry good practices and document patterns. A finished project can be saved as a template, so the next team starts from what worked.
key strengths
A Hadrone alternative for teams, not only for the PMO
A project office needs its people to work in the same system every day. In FlexiProject the team writes in the project chat, plans routine duties next to projects and sees leave from Outlook. The data the PMO reports on comes straight from that daily work, without extra spreadsheets.
flexible configuration
One instance, separate rules for each department
Each department gets a work area with its own charter pattern, templates and approval paths, while the board still sees all projects together. A project can also sit in two work areas when departments share it. The administrator arranges this in the interface.
