ArchiOffice vs RationalPlan

• ArchiOffice helps me manage my time throughout the work day.
• ArchiOffice helps me to understand how much time I have allocated to each client and to give me a realistic view on how long each task actually takes.
• ArchiOffice gives me a breakdown of the time and expenses our company has allocated to each project.

• Portfolio view is great to get a feel for how your programme is running at a glance and which areas possibly might require attention. The fact that you can customise your view by adding your own columns is another plus.
• All project information in one tool is a big plus for me considering the amount of projects we run with. This really improves efficiency and saves me time. You have the ability to add documents to tasks, manage risks, email resources tasks due for projects they are assigned to(might need some refinement depending on your requirements), material db with costing etc.

• I would like to see more of a scheduling component, to manage projects across our project team.
• I would like to receive a notification if a project is going over budget.
• I have to remember to double click to clear a contact, or the contact will be overridden.

• While the portfolio view is great is becomes difficult/cluttered with many projects. Highlighting master projects will help. Creating a tree view for master project and its sub projects would even be better.
• Reporting is a big part of any project. While rationalplan has reports for key areas the presentation of these reports could really be improved. Make it more presentable. Add some burndown charts. I hate to compare you to MS Project but they do reporting really well in MS Project.
• The email function is another great idea. Would be great if one had an option to either email an entire portfolio or by active project. At times I’m still scoping certain projects and if the WBS is not yet complete then this incomplete project is also communicated via email which leads to frustration in the team. You don’t always want to communicate tasks for all projects to all resources.
• One need to be able to: Email per project
• Email entire portfolio (as currently the case)
• Email by resource (send pending or outstanding tasks to the resource in question)
• Add a portfolio dashboard with graphical speed and bar charts giving you a glimpse of late projects, projects slipping, not started in progress etc., for your portfolio.
