LiquidPlanner Comentários e detalhes do produto

Liquid Planner has been a HUGE help in organizing and planning for my team. I manage a team of designers that work on a lot of different projects, that all have different needs and timetables. While there will always be a lot up in the air when it comes to planning for our projects, we have a much better understanding than we used to of how much we are managing and when we will be able to get projects turned around. It has also helped us track our time and understand how we are spending it better....given us so much accountability and helped us make solid business decisions.

There is a lot of know, and it can sometimes be hard to get the team to enter in their information as they should without a lot of micromanagement. If they don't enter in the information correctly, the data is wrong.

I'm able to put concrete metrics on the work my team is doing, which helps us make business decisions. It also helps me forecast workload, so I can give an estimate of when work will be turned around.

My top favorite feature is how the workspace is incorporates resource leveling. This is critical in determining completion dates and identifying critical paths. The status report is also an invaluable resource that I reference often. The dashboards enable a level of collaboration that is unlike any other program/project management tool I've tried. It is also pretty configurable. I do wish there were more options to create custom filters. That would assist with making dashboards and workspace views more specific to a purpose.

The only downsides are there are some analytics reports that do not allow you to easily see all columns. There are also key fields that I wish were able to be customized. I also have a very large workspace so I wished there was an easier way to move tasks within the workspace. Many times the workspace "resets" because I'm moving a task so far up or down my plan. This can be very frustrating when I am grooming my sprint backlog. These are very minor inconveniences in the big picture though.

Shared ownership over our projects is probably #1. That is because we are able to increase and optimize communication amongst the group which is even more critical given we are all remote. I have used LP to streamline our Enterprise Intake process and have created greater visibility into project financials (margin and burn rate to date).

How easy it is to specify your week hours

If I add hours incorrectly, then it's gone

Project management, keep track of my progress. Insert comments, checkboxes, the whole package comes as benefits to the company.

Liquid planner makes it easy to coordinate large projects being worked on by multiple teams. I love that you can tag colleagues when your section of the work is completed. It's also nice that you can attach and upload files.

Sometimes its hard to find things using the menu system, but this could be due to the manner which my company organizes things.

When you have multiple teams coordinating on a large project it can be difficult to ascertain what stage the work is at. Likewise, passing files between teams via dropbox/email/teams is clunky and can result in delays. Liquid planner makes it easy to conceptualize the status and exchange the project between teams.

I like the simplicity of the user interface. My company is starting with 30 users and piloting various features. It's very easy to get people in, using the tool, right away without burdening them with a bunch of unnecessary features. The support that we get with the team is also amazing - Keiko jumps right in with answers to questions and is always willing to train/onboard new team members.

This is probably less a commentary on LP and more a commentary on the landscape of work/project portfolio management in general. Development is tracked in JIRA, incidents/problems are tracked in ServiceNow, non-work events like PTO is tracked in Workday, and on and on. To really manage some of the complexities of portfolio management (like resource/capacity planning) means connecting all of these systems in a meaningful way. We are saving this for a few sprints down the road because we want people to just get in and start generating meaningful data for our portfolio management reports. It sounds like there's ways to connect LP to this (Zapier) and support to do so, it's just kind of a lot to think through right now.

We're currently on sprint 1. The first problem solved is more streamlined portfolio reporting. We have about 60 projects that are key to the goals of our 30-person project-focused part of the organization. We used to track all the updates to these projects in Excel. This was a a mess to keep track of and didn't connect to the day-to-day task management of those projects. Now it does! This allows for great drill-down capabilities.

I like that the product can easily handle 50+ clients, 100+ projects and in our business, 15 employees tracking time simultaneously. They provide any kind of report you'll need, and have support staff on hand at all times to help with any issues.

There are small things we can't control still, like the ability to lock timesheets mid-week, but they are always improving so I hope those small things will eventually be worked into their software.

Managing projects at the same time as tracking time. Adding information through the use of Custom Fields has been a huge benefit.

LiquidPlanner is fully integrated with time reporting and task tracking. We use the time tracking to pay our Offshore Philippines team and to invoice our clients.

Costs are per seat so that as we grew, our costs went up.

Very easy to manage our offshore team. This one solution worked much better tan any combination of other products. We have used LiquidPlanner for over 5 years.

LiquidPlanner is an application with many distinct features for its users like Gantt Chart, Dashboard, storage and Task management. We can manage and track our projects, deadlines, schedules and other work related processes. It provides us with a wide number of languages that are English, French, Spanish, German, Portuguese, Italian, Japanese and Russian. It helps keeping the flow on work in the direction so that we could focus on our core objectives. It has a minimalist theme and it helps us manage their work related schedules very easily. It is available for Android and iOS. It functions offline as well.

Its comparatively more expensive than other applications and is therefore unavailable for new businesses. It is not very user friendly. We cannot communicate through the application and it is hard to learn to use. It is slightly confusing to use. The time tracking option is difficult to find.

It is very beneficial since it helps the users stay focus on the main activities rather than worrying about the schedules and tracking their works. I usually don't worry about my list of tasks to get back to, because LiquidPlanner has it all sorted out for me but it is more pricey than it competitors and was hard for me to be pro efficient at.

Liquid Planner has lend a great helping hand in assisting us in our esteemed projects and modified tasks to be completed in a limited timeframe. We can also gain utmost benefits regarding the proficiency of our projects like we can easily track, modify or manage them in the most possible ways. It has this amazing set of tools to overall coordinate the ways we connect and take control of our projects. It also has this time tracking and project supervising features which ensures complete proficiency in the overall work going on. The account can easily be accessed with minimum pricing and premium features. It is quite easy to operate and use in a reliable way.

The certain reasons to dislike this tool that project management features are redundant or does not perform the way they are supposed to. It has also been a disaster when we completely want to automate our projects according to the schedules and time tracking features. Things can also get really messy when we have to assign the tasks or have to overview the complete working of the employees. It has also been used in few of our departments which is mainly used to handle medium sized projects with limited outputs.

Liquid Planner has such an amazing capability to cope with all the project requirements. Like from planning to supervise to completion phase , it has all the required tools for it. A complete set of tool with responsive and user friendly interface also offers assistance in great ways. We can completely rely on this tool and can have full control the way we perform and extract our desired results from the projects. It's a reliable management tool.

The system has a unique app scheduling algorithm which incorporate all updates into the project plan in real time giving an accurate project completion schedule.

The system is only advantageous to individual who have skills and knowledge about it.

Resource management,scheduling,project analysis and reporting,time tracking and document storage ,reduced workload attained ,hence i enjoy my work as the project manager because i can now carry any operation in the office with ease.

Like so many other project managers, I used MS Project to craft project plans and had become accustomed to the structuring and reconciliation nuances associated with the more traditional Project Planning tool. LiquidPlanner really elevated the functionality of a traditional project planning tool by developing a web-based tool that also integrates with other backend functions associated with project tracking (billing and invoicing from real-time project tracking, etc.). When I moved to a different project and had to revert back to traditional MS Project software, it felt like such a time warp compared to the intuitive GUI in Liquid Planner.

The only concerns I had about Liquid Planner centered around the ramp-up time it takes for users (and overall organizational culture) to adapt to using and navigating within the tool, especially how to use and interpret this tool from a portfolio ecosystem management perspective (tracking 50+ projects, etc.). It's just the typical challenges associated with using a centralized tracking tool (changing user and even manager mentalities from a de-centralized [one or few projects] to a broader centralized perspective, in which reporting and consistency in data entry impact analytics for more than just one project. It can pose a bit of an organizational learning curve but nothing that's overly concerning. The only other concern I noted, interestingly enough, is the same selling point: the ease in data entry. The tool is totally user friendly, very quick to navigate and data entry is a breeze. Because of this, however, it can result in problems if the user population and role based permissions are not clearly defined (and more specifically - limited). I did see instances in early phases where multiple users were moving too quickly in the tool, and making drag/drop changes and/or casually re-labeling changes for critical project files - basically too many "on-the-fly" changes without full understanding how these changes impact reporting and tracking, as well as integration with other systems that rely on consistent data inputs in LiquidPlanner for PMO reporting, etc. But again, this can be mitigated if strict role based permissions are put in place very early on, and designating a very small group of users that have permissions to make actual edits in the tool.

Aside from better reporting and using a web-based tool as opposed to standalone project plan software, the reporting capabilities and integration with billing activities are major gains associated with using LiquidPlanner. Also, the option to use document links and store artifacts and/or approval links in the tool is SO much more efficient than the traditional PM model (project plan is in MS Project, approvals are via email, emails and document artifacts are stored in a repository, etc. etc. - then the reconciliation model is all over the place, requiring multiple tools and sources to complete what should be standard validations). Liquid Planner offers a lot of communication and archive storage/link upload options which dramatically improve efficiency by reducing steps and number of places to go track down historical artifacts.

The staff went to extraordinary lengths to address some issues I had with Liquid Planner. I can recommend them or their product highly enough.

The UI could do with a slight improvement, looks slightly dated but this does not affect its kick-ass performance!

The Gantt chart algorithm is perfect for giving a high-level overview of all projects I am maintaining at one time.

Liquid Planner is very easy to use and manage.

I cannot think of anything that I currently dislike about Liquid Planner.

Liquid Planner helps to keep me accountable for my time and projects.

We’ve been using Liquid Planner for the last 5 years now and I can say that we are now managing 100% of our projects with it. Building a platform like Potion is a lot of work in product design, marketing, development and customer support but Liquid Planner has been a huge help when it comes to managing our projects. Whether it’s dealing with our internal or customer projects, Liquid Planner (my guys call it LP) has been a huge help. We’re using only part of the tools provided by LP, such as packages, tasks, attributions, deadlines, time tracking, resource planning and scheduling, but it’s already bringing a huge providing us with both flexibility and structure. The help resources are really thorough also and help us get the information we need to use it in an even better way. Finally, and I think it’s certainly one of the biggest strength of Liquid Planner, its support team is tremendous. All of our requests are always answered with concise and clear replies that push us forward.

As any PM tool, there is a learning curve and you need to get the team using it in the good way. Thankfully, the help resources are great.

At Potion, we help small companies create and manage their online community of customers. They can do it on Facebook but they don’t own the data and have a very limited reach (usually less than 5% of their fan base actually sees what they post). On Potion, they create their own fully branded community, they own their data and have a 100% reach.

We are an ecommerce agency in charge of website creation and marketing optimization focus in ROI. Liquid Planner has been awesome for us, it allow us having closer and realistic deadlines in our projects .Thanks to “My work” characteristic, it has become an assistant to every team member in the production department and it has helped us to decrease our stress level in our agency, making us have clear deadlines dates and calculating the remaining effort of our projects. And thats not it, constantly Liquid Planner has made constant software optimizations and that has made us feel safe and protected in our company growth We are a multiproject and collaborative company and Liquid Planner has been perfect for our ideologies.

Not sure where to start, but definitely the UI, the access to the "back-end" with a front-end. Easy access and quick time tracking capabilities. It's quick and easy interface allows you to jump in and start playing immediately. The analytics is real-time, easy and robust. I could keep going! Their Cust Support is amazing and I have a great relationship with the CEO. It's great to have a successful company still be so personal touch.

That you can't require fields, inability to see "notifications" in the UI or from the "projects" view.

Templatized workflow, conflicting resources, time tracking, Reporting. Where all our time is going is amazing to realize and we are already making workflow changes because of the data.

It is really easy to use and user friendly. Reporting is easy also.

There are really not any features that I specifically dislike.

Organizing resources and gaining enhanced visibility into the ability to meet project timelines.

I like how Liquidplanner is one of the best platform and how versatile and eloquent it is for project collaboration. Has made it easy to schedule and plan of projects meetings. It's very incredible with task assignments. Terrific with project budgeting and scheduling.

It is just admirable for it's effectiveness with project collaboration,nothing that i dislike towards it...

Setting up projects has been smooth. Has been reliable to automate and workflows.

Liquidplanner has made it easy to organize hundreds of concurrent projects with different tasks strings in each and track hours and workload across multiple users. It's great with workflow automation. Very terrific with project monitoring.

Liquidplanner planner has worked so well for our organization,no negative aspect towards it.

Has made it easy for creation of schedules based on project priorities.

Liquidplanner offers several advantages over other project management tools. Firstly, it's very user-friendly and intuitive, which means that you can get started with it quickly and easily. Secondly, it offers a range of customization options, so you can tailor it to your team's specific needs. Thirdly, it has excellent collaboration features, which allow team members to share files, communicate in real-time, and get updates on project progress.

One of the drawbacks of Liquidplanner is that it can be quite expensive, particularly if you have a large team or need to manage multiple projects. Secondly, it's not as customizable as some other project management tools, which means that you may need to adapt your workflows to fit the software. Thirdly, it can be challenging to integrate with other tools, which can be frustrating if you use a range of different software in your work.

Liquidplanner offers several benefits that make it an essential tool for modern project management. Firstly, it provides greater visibility and transparency, which means that you can keep track of project progress and identify any issues quickly. Secondly, it helps you to manage your team's workload more effectively, which reduces the risk of burnout and improves productivity.
