Visual Project Planning and Scheduling
The top 3 ways GamePlan helps you
Planning
GamePlan gives you a Whiteboard where you plan your project simply by drawing the project workflow. It’s a natural and intuitive way to plan. Everyone can plan this way.
Scheduling
As you plan your project, GamePlan automatically creates the schedule. Team availability is known, so the schedule is achievable. You now have deliverable dates that can be communicated with confidence.
Tracking
As you carry out your project, when there’s a delay GamePlan shows you exactly how the delay affects all project deliverables. GamePlan then helps you find the best way to bring the project back on schedule.

Why are you not famous?I don’t understand why you are not all over the web!! This is the best scheduling program by far – incredible! This is what Gantt should look like in every program!!
Using GamePlan our team can quickly construct all the expected tasks, milestones and major meetings we foresee and use them to estimate the required resources and projected Project completion date.The professional reporting structure found natively within GamePlan enables us to then produce reports that can be used to explain both the project complexity and current progress with our senior leaders at the click of a button.
The use of GamePlan has greatly reduced our project planning timelines and is allowing us to focus more on our core business.
GamePlan gives a different way of presenting a plan. Everyone sees the entire process, which gives an understanding of each role in delivering a project successfully.The visual makes it easy for each participant to self-manage their tasks, reducing the reliance on the software release manager for achieving deadlines.
GamePlan is intuitive, and the ability to generate a new plan from a template means it only takes a few minutes to kick off each new project.
An introduction to GamePlan (2:30)
How is GamePlan unique?
GamePlan makes project planning instinctive. Entering tasks into a Gantt chart is not instinctive. Drawing your project workflow on a whiteboard is a natural way to plan any project.
There are many tools that visualize project tasks. But very few let you position and link tasks to show the project workflow. And only GamePlan automatically updates a Gantt chart project schedule as you make changes on a whiteboard.
Task management vs. Project scheduling
It is important to understand the difference between task management and project scheduling tools. In task management tools you create tasks, add people, and assign task due dates. These tools are excellent for team collaboration.
Task management tools show when tasks are due, but they give no indication if the due dates are achievable. When the inevitable project delay occurs, these tools tell you that you are late, but they cannot help you further.
Project scheduling tools look at task dependencies and team availability, and they calculate the entire project timeline. When a delay occurs, the project timeline is recalculated.
Task management tools work well when a project is not time sensitive. However, when a project is time sensitive, only scheduling tools show you what is achievable and keep you on track to meet your project deliverables.
