Milanote vs. RationalPlan

Milanote works great for scheduling work-related trips, events and/or photoshoots. Photoshoots in particular are easier to coordinate with Milanote because of the ability to build a board that functions like a calendar with multiple boards and links inside. The level of collaboration helps my team to organize events and check items off of our checklists in a timely manner.

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.

• More visually appealing (color + recommended options)
• Sound desktop notifications when a new task is assigned
• Slack integration

• Milestones should be a primary option instead of 0h to create one.

Milanote is extremely user friendly and easy to learn. I have been able to add new users to our plan with little to no training and they were able to easily integrate themselves into the program. Once a user has been able to navigate through the software in its entirety, they are able to use it with little to no training.

I had to ask for support once and got a response immediately.

I think Milanote stacks pretty well. Lucidchart is great for outlining processes, whereas Milanote is excellent for creative mind-mapping and marketing presentations.

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.

• The positive impact is the ability to outline projects that I share with the team as it saves time from having to use PowerPoint.

• Helps explain the target schedule and resource estimates for cost of the project
