To this end Task Planner's main planning board contains two schedules :

• the activity schedule


• the working hours schedule

and an automatic assignment procedure based on competences required by the tasks and competences offered by the employees.


This unique approch pinpoints the scheduling problem and ensures that you get the jobs assigned and with the right staff.

Below is the main planning board of Task Planner in which the two schedules and the assignments are clearly identifiable.

Generating a monthly plan using templates is done by pressing a button and is a matter of seconds even for very large plans.

Handling of daily exceptions.

Absences of any cause are readily visible in the plan and can be dealt with immediately.

Changes in the allocation and duration of activities or working hours are done using the mouse, mirroring the familiar planning board.
