    Getting started - using the Gantt chart to enter tasks in any order and then using those tasks to initially define a MindMap to further explore alternative dependencies. The alternative works better when initiating a project with significant unknowns.

    Yes, definitely. We wanted a flexible but robust software and Sciforma seemed to be the best fit

    Pros
    CS Odessa LLC
    • Integration with ConceptDraw Mindmap makes work breakdown very easy.
    • We have cross-functional teams where team members often work on different projects in parallel. The multi project management feature has been a blessing over these years.
    • Another import feature is the availability of many different predefined report generation templates that made it very easy to communicate different aspects of the project to different stakeholders.

    • The largest con for me is the clunky UI. It's not very intuitive, and has a larger learning curve to become a proficient user.
    • Reports are functional, but could use some improvements.
    • It can be slow at times, and you have to wait to make sure your changes are saved before moving on.

    ConceptDraw has a much simpler licensing and pricing model. Perpetual license and ability to use in offline mode was an important criteria for us. Perfect bundle for small and medium business.

    We were looking at vendors but they didn't meet our expectations and weren't flexible enough.

    • Before Sciforma we were running projects out of Excel and emails. Using a cloud based application means that everyone is viewing information in real time.
    • Our executive leadership knows that they have one place to go for a real time status on all of our strategic projects.
