The program has the ability to track your work, if your work is done in it. The way we use it in our department is a centralized place for teachers to send a support ticket.
The analytics are clunky at best, you can't search by tags. You can't send email's from the system so the follow-up get's lost if the person doesn't reply on.
As of right now we use it as a ticketing system. If used well it can be a centralized place to track support.
I like the idea that I can track the jobs from start to finish.
The filter system. It does not include everything I need.
We are solving efficiency problems.
Having many great tools to use . The charts and reports that could generate is very great . . . .. . . .
The fact that is not user friendly at all. It is hard to find how everything is working. you should put time to learn how to work with it. . . . . . . …… . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . . . .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . . . . . . . . .. . . . . .

1. The timing feature is helpful for adding to your timesheet. 2. You can upload relevant documents to a task and all members of the task or project can view them. 3. The filtering and search functionality from the project view is decent.
1. The UI isn't intuitive. 2. The timesheet layout is the most useful, but if you remove the time from a task (i.e., to move to another day), the task disappears and you have to find it again on the main projects page. 3. The projects page layout is confusing; some of this is attributable to user error, but it gives a lot of unnecessary information that clutters the view. 4. The card view is not particularly useful. 5. If you're in a task, the documents you need may be held in a parent item and you don't have access to them unless you navigate away from the task. None of these are major issues, of course, and as a product, it's fine. However, I think there are other systems that do a much better job at organizing the information and are more intuitive. All things being equal, I would choose a different product.
The company managers use the timesheets to bill clients. They occasionally use this data to predict the time needed to complete future tasks.
Fulfills my needs as a software developer, has concise functionality without being bloated. The card view and multiple owners is a great addition.
Changes to your policy that require that you have at least 10 users means that I can no longer refer your product to other people. Historically, I've brought 4 different companies on board with your product, but since they want to start out with a small user base and expand as they use it, they are unwilling to get off the ground with the product. Can't you be a little more creative about how you handle product attrition? Otherwise, my largest complaint is the requirement to refresh all of the time. Many modern applications update in real time using signalR or angular.js, liquidplanner is starting to feel a little dated.
Project management, time tracking, project scheduling and projecting, task delegation.
Having worked with the Classic version of LP for several years, I recently transitioned to the new version - the application is well structured, extremely robust, and contains all the key elements of LP
I would love to be able to forward tasks directly into the new version of LP - especially from either email or MS Teams
LP is brilliant at ensuring that resources are properly engaged - in addition, the ability to ASAP prioritise a task at project, package or workspace is genius. LP provides Project Managers with confidence that delivery dates are realistic
I love being able to edit task assignments and change task/project priority with only a few mouse clicks as this allows our organization to answer the question "what if..." quickly and easily. The snapshot workload view is also great for quickly seeing who is overloaded and who has available time to help share the load.
So far I can't complain about much. It would be good to see workload beyond the 90day timeframe (180days would be great). Also having the ability to create dashboards for individuals outside the organization would be helpful (not critical though).
Being able to effectively plan our engineering design team workload into the future so we can make appropriate staffing decisions is critical to our success. LiquidPlanner allows us to predict when our design team will be either overloaded or slow and we can make proactive decisions months ahead of time rather than being purely reactionary.
The automatic scheduling engine helps me manage the constraints of the same resources used across multiple projects with varying availability.
The mobile app isn't very user-friendly and needs a lot of work.
LiquidPlanner solves the problem of just managing tasks, and reframes my plans to first consider that the people doing the tasks are working on other things.
The algorithm that plots the timeline for each task/project shows the team where to spend their time. The ASAP packages can be used to prioritize tasks further as well.
The fact that one project does need to be beneath another is difficult. For teams with multiple projects simultaneously needing attention throughout a year, it becomes difficult to accurately represent how many tasks from different projects should fall in priority
Liquid planner does allow teams to know what their work should be and to remember deadlines that are upcoming. It allows management to view burn rates and improve their ability to estimate task lengths at the beginning of a project.
Liquid Planner has given insight into project execution. Resources management is very critical, LP gives detailed reports on how long projects take versus guesswork.
Hard to update projects schedule and resource allocation after the project is defined and scheduled.
Gaps in resources. To justify more resources, LP provides a detailed analysis of each project, its resource allocation and the expected time to complete. It highlights limitations and gaps for each project and thus one could move around resources or justify getting more.
We have been using LP for several years now. It's very convenient to track time, assign tasks for specific sprints for self or others, and plan a workweek effectively.
The software is not intuitive and requires training for most employees.
It helps me track time used on individual tasks and plan my time better.
The configurability of this product is amazing. It allows us to view all of the updates we need and filter out the projects we are not involved in.The timesheet is very valuable as well.
There is not much I don't like. As with anything, when one has administrator abilities you have to be careful not to remove files that other things are dependent upon.
We have been able to project our people's capacity much more accurately and that allows us to provide our clients with accurate timelines for the completion of their projects. It also helps us manage the timelines internally so that we keep all aspects of the project moving forward. Finally, we are able to accurately bill hours to clients using the timesheets.
I like being able to log time against specific tasks, which then play into the overall time to complete the other tasks moving forward.
The time increments should be more clear.
Finding out what tasks are taking longer than initially planned, and being able to factor that into the next task.
I like how easy to use the software is. It is very user friendly and easy to navigate. There are so many features for customizing and molding the data into specialized reports. The dashboards are great and extremely beneficial. I like that you can set certain permissions for different people as well.
There are times when the database can run a little slow because it is a cloud-based solution. Although this isn’t horrible for the day to day activities, I remember it being a bit challenging when I first designed our database structure. This is going back 9 years ago and LiquidPlanner has made many improvements to their servers and system since then.
We use LP on a day-to-day basis. We are using it to log our time, track progress on projects and plan our future work and needed resources. We know it is a great tool for automatic resource leveling and we found it to be the only tool to do this across multiple projects with multiple resources. We have been able to develop monthly and weekly reports out of LiquidPlanner. We have also been able to integrate it into our timesheet management system for ease of use and transfer of timesheet data.
I love being able to communicate with other team members when working on multiple tasks as a team. Adding links to work or google sheets is a breeze and makes our working lives much easier!
I would like to be able to use font and highlighting on texts as I am writing instead of posting a comment or note then having to edit after.
We are able to hit target goals and actually complete more work because of Liquid Planner. We realize this type of organization and planning tool was what we really needed.
It allows you add large files, link out to other URLS, projects. You can keep everything needed for a specific project all within 1 place. Its organized and efficent.
I would like to be able to color cold certain tasks, deadlines, etas, myself.
We run multiple projects, with large enterprise customers at once and being able to keep every project organized and separated is a massive help. We are solving scheduling, project management, content allocation and distribution and management.
I like the configurability of the users and I also really likehow Projects can be broken down all the way to checklists for tasks. The dependencies for tasks is super useful as well.
The notification options are not as configurable as I would like.
Liquid Planner really helps us see our team's availability and helps us realize the time spent on specific projects. This has allowed us to assign work more effectively and also allows us to provide our customers with more accurate timelines for project completion.
The multiple tasks for a log activity time and easy tracking. The display per week of the hours logged in the system
Delay when I change the week to log a new activity. The User Experience can improve as also a display of the week. Also, a display per user log time will be a good experience for Project Management
Time Tracking for multiple team members. Verification for a new task or another
It is simple for entering time logged. Not Complicated.
There is not much to dislike. I use it very simply for logging time.
The company I work for use it to log time. It shows what projects we work on and what hours went to it. It make billing clients easy.
