    Landscape Management Network
    LMN is best used if you go all in on it, otherwise you'll end having to use several other software to round it out. Making use of budgeting, estimating, timesheet, job costing, invoicing, payment, planning can all be done with this software. If used to it's potential, i can make running a business a seamless and timesaving endeavour.

    Appropriate as a great alternative to MS Project. RationalPlan provides most of the features needed to develop and maintain mid-level complex schedules. Less Appropriate for large complex schedules of long duration. These can be a challenge due to Duration at top-level. It is also a challenge to generate reports for management - reporting feature is limited.

    • 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.

    We use both Service Autopilot and Landscape Management Network in tangent with eachother. They work well but, each has pros and cons that are easily eleviated by the other.

    RationalPlan is cost-effective and allows most users to prepare and manage their schedule. The software lacks comprehensive reporting and duration changes at the top level of a project.
