Graphical Work Breakdown Structures (WBS)
Use 2-plan Desktop's free graphical work breakdown structures (WBS) to quickly layout the scope of your projects. Using a top-down planning approach, start with the project’s end state and work downwards adding increasing levels of detail.
Building or creating a WBS with this graphical tool is ideal because it allows you to enter items quickly and arrange them in the format that works for your project. If you change your mind, you can use the interactive tool to rearrange the items with a series of drag-and-drop motions.
You can also insert jpeg images of your graphical WBS work packages in your project proposals or RFPs with greater ease! 2-plan Desktop project management software is the first to offer a free interactive graphical WBS.
Animated Project Breakdown Structure (PBS)
Use 2-plan Desktop's innovative project breakdown structure tool to view project components like WBS, teams, milestones, materials or project mind maps.
2-plan Desktop's Extended Project Explorer allows you to drill-down on your projects and see what each component has. Likewise, manage several projects with a quick, top-level view to see which projects your teams are working on or which equipment have you assigned to certain projects.
This simple, but powerful, tool provides project managers an easier grasp on the complex relationships or inter-dependencies of their project components. Likewise, program managers can now see a summary of their sub-projects and how each one impacts another.
Most significantly, PMO administrators handling multiple projects for project firms can get a quick view on where their human and physical resources are currently assigned, simply and more effectively.
