LiquidPlanner Reviews & Product Details

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

Liquid Planner gives a clear picture of what needs to be done, who need to do it, and when. Team members no longer need to spend time figuring out their daily agenda, and everyone's schedule is visible. The automatic scheduler keeps estimated completion dates continually accurate. Project managers don't have to manually move large chunks of tasks/milestones/etc when the project inevitably experiences delays or scope changes.

The interface design is a bit dated, and could probably use a refresh. Because it's so customizable and data-heavy, it can seem daunting at first use. Also, the mobile app seems to have been ignored for years.

Our team is able to track the progress of projects better, and is gaining much more insight into what causes delays/overages. Individuals feel much more comfortable with their clearly defined expectations, based in the reality of actual available hours. It's much more difficult to over-promise/under-deliver when the scheduling system warns of conflicts ahead of time.

I think it's very easily navigable, and an easy place to be able to house all internal communication and even documents that pertain to particular projects.

The overall layout can be very intimidating at first practice. It get's much more frendly the more you're in it however.

Id' say definitely solving overall internal communication, especially during the quarantine and remote working.

My top favorite feature is how the workspace is incorporates resource leveling. This is critical in determining completion dates and identifying critical paths. The status report is also an invaluable resource that I reference often. The dashboards enable a level of collaboration that is unlike any other program/project management tool I've tried. It is also pretty configurable. I do wish there were more options to create custom filters. That would assist with making dashboards and workspace views more specific to a purpose.

The only downsides are there are some analytics reports that do not allow you to easily see all columns. There are also key fields that I wish were able to be customized. I also have a very large workspace so I wished there was an easier way to move tasks within the workspace. Many times the workspace "resets" because I'm moving a task so far up or down my plan. This can be very frustrating when I am grooming my sprint backlog. These are very minor inconveniences in the big picture though.

Shared ownership over our projects is probably #1. That is because we are able to increase and optimize communication amongst the group which is even more critical given we are all remote. I have used LP to streamline our Enterprise Intake process and have created greater visibility into project financials (margin and burn rate to date).

Liquid Planner has been a HUGE help in organizing and planning for my team. I manage a team of designers that work on a lot of different projects, that all have different needs and timetables. While there will always be a lot up in the air when it comes to planning for our projects, we have a much better understanding than we used to of how much we are managing and when we will be able to get projects turned around. It has also helped us track our time and understand how we are spending it better....given us so much accountability and helped us make solid business decisions.

There is a lot of know, and it can sometimes be hard to get the team to enter in their information as they should without a lot of micromanagement. If they don't enter in the information correctly, the data is wrong.

I'm able to put concrete metrics on the work my team is doing, which helps us make business decisions. It also helps me forecast workload, so I can give an estimate of when work will be turned around.

Quick response time from customer service

no reports on projects/tasks that are done

We are able to see all projects at once. We can keep track of each project/task that each individaul is working on. We can make deadlines and make sure everyone is sticking to them.

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.

Liquid planner makes it easy to coordinate large projects being worked on by multiple teams. I love that you can tag colleagues when your section of the work is completed. It's also nice that you can attach and upload files.

Sometimes its hard to find things using the menu system, but this could be due to the manner which my company organizes things.

When you have multiple teams coordinating on a large project it can be difficult to ascertain what stage the work is at. Likewise, passing files between teams via dropbox/email/teams is clunky and can result in delays. Liquid planner makes it easy to conceptualize the status and exchange the project between teams.

How easy it is to specify your week hours

If I add hours incorrectly, then it's gone

Project management, keep track of my progress. Insert comments, checkboxes, the whole package comes as benefits to the company.

The way it shows the routine tasks in the calendar.

It's a little bit confusing on the tasks above the page. It changes a lot the meaning of the task dependending on what you need.

Im solving the problem of having mistakes on how many hours per day I spend on each task. There's a lot of benefits, but the main one certainly is the organizing method of the website.
