1. Many organisations believe that they need to use complex but time-consuming and expensive software for project management.
   
   However, busy project managers need to focus on delivering and recording what needs to be done, when, by whom and when it was achieved. The Particulus Project Plan is clear and easy to use and provides key information on timelines, resources and milestones.
   
   The Gantt chart displays the tasks and automatically populates the dates for visual impact.
   
   The Percentage Completion column gives a clear indication of progress and warnings in the standard Red, Amber, Green status column are calculated according to the state of completion relevant to the date.
   
   The project manager uses the Resource Request forms to request and secure resources as part of the project planning.
   
   
   
   
   
   

1. Where a project has significant financial impact - whether revenue or capital - there is an option on the project plan for detailed tracking.
   
   This can be populated by a feed from finance, or input manually by either the project manager or finance manager.
