Meisterplan Bewertungen & Produktdetails

Best project portfolio management application I've used in 30+ year career. Keeping project management isolated from portfolio management has been a benefit to us rather than using a full PM/PfM/PPM application; the flexibility in letting diverse business units keep their project management practices that work best for their teams and workflows while bringing together top-down planning is a good balance for our organization.

Not much down side. I've led F100 PMO teams that were responsible for portfolio and project management tools and processes, including MS Project, Asana, Clarity PPM and Planview. WHile each tool has strengths, Meisterplan was quickest to onboard and least costly to maintain. It is an elegant solution that permits our focus on portfolio and resource management, Bewertung gesammelt von und auf G2.com gehostet.

Visual tool that packs in a lot of information in a clear visual: Project dates, resource loading and profitability, all at once.

Easy to see the effects of changes (drag an element and the system updates the rest)

Easy to use!

Love the option to consider or exclude certain projects from the calculation, as well as the scenario- planning capacity.

Financials are time-related, so that you can match the inflows with dates or milestones. Great for cash-flow management! Bewertung gesammelt von und auf G2.com gehostet.

Would benefit from some extra customization options (eg: keep milestones fixed once date is in the past, even if the project is prolonged, etc.) Bewertung gesammelt von und auf G2.com gehostet.

No real dislike just observations:

Can get expensive with named ressources metric for users. One foot in task management and one foot out ,i imagine intension for future release will clarify the direction they are taking with it. Bewertung gesammelt von und auf G2.com gehostet.

You always see the current allocation of your resources and with simple drag and drop you move projects and recognize the changes for your resources and financials. Great and intuitive user interface for easy project portfolio planning. Especially the inclusion of financials is great! Interfaces with other systems and tools are interesting option for high level of integration in our entire software landscape. Bewertung gesammelt von und auf G2.com gehostet.

In der Vergangenheit musste ich große Excel-Dateien mit komplizierten Formeln verwenden, um das Portfolio für das nächste Jahr zu planen und Engpässe bei Ressourcen anzuzeigen/vorherzusagen. Nach unzähligen Stunden des Datenkorrekturens und Wartens auf die Berechnung der Ergebnisse nutze ich jetzt Meisterplan, um vorauszuplanen. Das Beste daran: Es ist schnell und zeigt die Auswirkungen von Änderungen im Portfolio sofort an. Dadurch kann ich mich auf die tatsächlichen Probleme konzentrieren und neue Alternativen finden.

Es gibt Zeiten, in denen ich das Bedürfnis verspüre, Projekte in detailliertere Strukturen aufzuteilen, z.B. in Phasen. Bewertung gesammelt von und auf G2.com gehostet.

Wir haben Meisterplan für die Planung unserer Berater und externen Projekte genutzt und fanden es sehr hilfreich. Es ist so einfach, Ressourcen Projekten zuzuweisen und zu sehen, was mit ihrer Kapazität passiert. Am Ende haben wir unsere Planungsgenauigkeit und die Kommunikation mit unseren Kunden verbessert.

Uns fehlt eine Anwendung für unseren Berater, in der sie sehen können, für welche Projekte sie gebucht sind. Bewertung gesammelt von und auf G2.com gehostet.

First, the product is really easy to provision online, no software to install. Just register and get started. I am very impressed with how easy and intuitive it is to manage even complex project portfolios - just drag and drop your resources, timelines, goals and dependencies. Also, the switch from Excel to Meisterplan is seamless as the software makes it very easy to import our existing planning spreadsheets. Bewertung gesammelt von und auf G2.com gehostet.

No major issues. I am using Meisterplan on Chrome on my desktop, which works great. If you need to use it on a small mobile device (Safari browser), it can be a bit tricky - the small device form factor isn't ideal for many SaaS apps. But it works great on my iPad.

I signed up for the trial, went through the walk-thru and played with the system myself. It seems clear that:

(a) it would be very easy to load this tool up with a portfolio of projects with their labor demands (I fixate on the labor part, but I suppose the point is more generally about resources) and then I could use it to explain what we are planning to use all of our people on (and why we are going to have to make some tough decisions about what we take on when). I would just start with roles (not named individual contributors). This would be a simple way to get a lot of value within hours.

(b) this is a cool system that is nipping at the heels of full-on PPM systems. Check out the financials stuff and the goal-based portfolios. Bewertung gesammelt von und auf G2.com gehostet.

There was nothing I disliked. I'm sure they could do more to help me use this across the whole management team, but I haven't looked that closely at what they already have there. Bewertung gesammelt von und auf G2.com gehostet.

As Saas solution Meisterplan is very easy to implement and use. The interactive planning and allocation of resources and project is really easy to use and saves a lot of time and efforts. Bewertung gesammelt von und auf G2.com gehostet.

I would like to have more operational project management features like task planning. Bewertung gesammelt von und auf G2.com gehostet.

The intuitive user inrerface, providing easy and straightforward access and visilibity into what is typically a very complex issue -- Portfolio planning and optimization, portfolio analysis, resource capacity planning. Replaces complex Excel tables, pivots, reports, etc. Bewertung gesammelt von und auf G2.com gehostet.

A strong integrated project management / project planning functionality might make the solution a more complete PPM solution for the entire enterprise. This is currently addressed through strong interfaces to other PPM solutions. Bewertung gesammelt von und auf G2.com gehostet.
