Features Workplan Gantt Editor A prominent feature in version 5.1 is the workplan gantt editor. This is a .NET tool powered by RadiantQ designed to streamline the project management process. This improved the classic workplan management pages by reducing the need to reload pages and allowing a Project Manager to review the effects of their changes prior to saving them. The editor contains two sides, a workplan side (see above) and a gantt side (see below). Unlike previous implementations of the gantt in VPMi, the Workplan Gantt Editor lines up work-plan rows with gantt rows, making the relationships easier to see. Dashboards VPMi has a variety of dashboards that quickly provide access to information at a glance. These dashboards also link to full records within VPMi. Currently, there are the following dashboards in VPMi: My Home, My Resources, My Projects, My Organizations, My Reports, My Calendar, Organization, Project, and Program. Project Management Projects can be managed entirely within VPMi, or through Microsoft Project (MSP) integration allowing Project Managers to upload and sync Microsoft Project Plans, managing their projects in a tool they may already be familiar with. VPMi can also be used directly to manage workplans in a browser-based graphical user interface (GUI) called the Workplan Gantt Editor. Once created, projects can be routed along a customizable Process Map. Additionally, VPMi has built in templating, allowing PMs to define a project as a template, then apply that template to new projects, populating them with the appropriate settings and workplan information. Projects also have a Status, which indicates on a Red, Yellow or Green scale what state the project is in. VPMi allows feedback to be requested from project team members. Finally, projects can be prioritized so it is clear where resources should be dedicated first. Workplan Management VPMi tracks three kinds of workplan items: Tasks, Deliverables, and Milestones. These items can be tracked by client-defined phases, or by percentage complete. Each of these items can have time tracked to it, and drive the financials of the projects and programs. Log Item Tracking VPMi tracks five types
