Overview:
The science of project planning is an industry that has evolved through the use of computers. The basic tools for project planning although available are very expensive. We’re talking hundreds of thousands of dollars or more for software products that in some ways don’t meet the needs of the users.
Seeking Solutions:
Depending upon the size of the firm and the scope of the production offered a simple solution for project planning can provide many of the basic requirements. Does your firm have a project planning solution for the following?
1. The definition of individual projects with an organized process of assembling the requirements that describe the top to bottom management plan.
2. Does your firm have a project team organizational management plan, or a random assignment system?
3. Does your planning system provide a proposed budget for projects to the individual team member level and up to the senior staff on the project? The budget system that is calculating each cost element and rolling this cost up by department to the top level.
4. Do you have a vendor assignment system that has an organized approach for assigning vendor and engineering responsibilities for design specification, and a tracking element for each specification activity?
5. Does you plan include a specification system that defines each spec and the management of specification to include responsibilities, action items and related meetings both in-house and with vendors?
6. Do you have a system for managing drawings by project for both tracking and budget reviews for new proposed project? Does the plan also breakdown the drawings into top level to the lowest part in a drawing tree?
7. Can your system take each item on a drawing and provide a breakdown of vital specifications and requirements for fit form and function? Does this system identify MTBF issues, by failures, and engineering design issues?
8. (On the companion computer app.) Can you produce a drawing report that describes the end item drawing, the systems and subsystems, and components parts back up to the end item? Does this system calculate drawing items cost to a sub summary. Then summaries the full drawing package for full system costs.
9. This report allows selective changes where you can omit items to see cost changes.

If this system could fit on a Mac or PC, but also be carried on an iPad where ever you go, could you imagine the time and money this would save? The best part of this definition is that the iPad app would cost $49.99, and the companion computer app would be included for free. This is a ridiculous offer for such a universal application. To add one more feature to the solution, the iPad app can sync all changes between the iPad and the companion computer app.
