An organization tool that went from desirable to vital

What are the best aspects of this product?

Our organization appreciates the possibility to associate tasks with specific packages, and to attach one checklist item per task to our team members’ schedules. I personally like the association of files with my individual tasks, and the fact that I can add notes wherever I need them.

What aspects are problematic or could work better?

I can’t add all the data I need when uploading multiple assignments in single-line windows (expected activities, maximal efforts, etc). Besides, I don’t think Excel is the right choice for this type of upload, and there is not much feedback available. It is much more logical to have a separate sheet for each employee’s assignments, and to control his work without necessarily affecting the schedules of other colleagues. I would also like to see it integrated with Google Calendar.

What specific problems in your company were solved by this product?

We measure performance with Liquid Planner: it displays all resources, and the accomplishment of each worker on a particular project. We managed to balance between a tight budget and ‘best case scenario’ timing. LP data is indispensable for important financial matters, such as budget revisions and setting prices for new projects.
