Product Details

What is LiquidPlanner?

LiquidPlanner is a portfolio project & resource management solution for teams that want to plan and predict. It provides a way to align people, projects and priorities to ensure the right people are working on the right things at the right time.

Predictive scheduling dynamically adapts to change and manages uncertainty, so the user knows in real-time when work will be done. It offers automatic resource leveling and priority-based planning across multiple projects and dependencies. When changes to priorities occur, drag and drop projects are used to adjust project plans automatically.

With Planning Intelligence, LiquidPlanner enables teams to deliver and optimize projects, helping teams to prioritize tasks, predict outcomes, and perform. LiquidPlanner offers a free trial.

We use LiquidPlanner for to manage software implementation projects for new customers and customers that upgrade or add on new modules. In the past, we used NetSuite to try to manage projects, but since that wasn't a true project management software things were easily lost or buried. LiquidPlanner provides a detailed look at projects' status and provides a quick snapshot of who is working with each customer.
  • Ease of use
  • Notifications - emails members when tasks are assigned or updated, and you can follow tasks that are not yours so that you can keep track of their status.
  • Well designed UI
  • Unique mail addressees for each task to keep track of correspondence
Cons
  • Reporting - sometimes I can't filter on the fields I need to report on
  • Personal reporting - without administrative access users cannot easily export a list of all tasks they have outstanding
  • Not responsive - hard to view on phone/tablet
If you have complex projects with many steps and many people working on them, or if you have a desire to report on many small aspects of a project, LiquidPlanner might not be the best fit. If you have smaller scale projects and are ok with doing some manipulation of project data outside of LiquidPlanner, it's a great software.

LiquidPlanner produces a higher degree of visibility into the progress of our team.

Extremely positive experience. The LiquidPlanner project management tool allows me and my work team to monitor the status of our goals at a high level, keeping us informed about the progress of projects since it offers certain management capabilities that make collaboration in projects more efficient and precise.
  • GANTT charts.
  • Multiple integrations.
  • Creation of schedules based on project priorities.
  • Powerful functions oriented to task management and team collaboration.
Cons
  • It is difficult to visualize projects through a mobile phone.
  • The user interface is not attractive.
  • The "search" function is not that powerful, it needs to be improved.
LiquidPlanner is a great software that helps teams in any field manage project workflow by providing the means to visualize processes from start to finish. In addition, LiquidPlanner can be accessed online and from anywhere.

Currently we have one department actively using it, but we have plans to get more of the company involved. It addresses the issues of being able to visualize a long, complex workflow.
  • LiquidPlanner's biggest strength is that it allows you to have a simple visualization of a complex workflow with the use of packages, project folders, tasks, etc. Long-term projects can be overwhelming, especially if you have to multitask. LiquidPlanner allows you to manage efficiently.
  • LiquidPlanner is a very powerful project management tool, but it allows you to use it in varying levels. The more data you want to give it, the more data it will give you, allowing you to perfect your team and project's workflow. The most notable example is time estimates. If you are able to estimate how much time certain tasks within a project take, you can roughly calculate how long the whole project will take. If kept up with, it can be extremely valuable to budget time and resources.
  • With its different ways of commenting, communication about specific portions of a project is very easy. The tagging system works really well, so that when you tag someone on a comment, they will get an email that will notify them, keeping the whole project moving along.
Cons
  • LiquidPlanner's mobile app definitely needs some work. It doesn't display properly, having many things on the right hand side cut off. It doesn't update/refresh well. I can't imagine the mobile app will ever have the functionality of the Web version, but it needs to come a lot closer.
  • LiquidPlanner requires that everyone actively participate in order to maximize its benefit. However, it can be difficult for everyone to be on top of all of their responsibilities all of the time. Not sure on a solution, but it can be a lot to manage.
I think LiquidPlanner is best suited for workflows that involve multiple people, as it really emphasizes accountability. However, I can see it being useful to a single person working on a large project with lots of steps.

Very useful tool for project management

We use it for project tracking in terms of understanding how resources are being utilised and what capacity is remaining to allocate. Also used to track project tasks all in one place and pipeline projects. We like how the tool is collaborative to enable staff to input information and give management a shared understanding of project progress.
  • Reporting feature with multiple views of resources.
  • Reminder function.
  • Visualisation of project data.
  • Task allocation and tracking.
Cons
  • Difficult to use on a phone.
  • Interface is busy and not easy to navigate.
  • Reporting can be difficult to hack.
The tool is well suited for various project management needs. For example, the tool enables time estimating to understand project duration which feeds into our budget plans. The tool is also well suited for following the progress of projects through Gannt chart visualisations and the creation of task dependencies. Though the tool is less useful when you have overlapping time spent on tasks.

Despite adoption issues, I'm still a believer

Our organization is still in its infancy regarding adoption of LiquidPlanner. I'm currently acting as the primary evangelist for the product to encourage more people to start using it. As a CPG company, I am attempting to prove out how LiquidPlanner can be employed to facilitate our product development process, for which we have many projects with complicated dependencies running concurrently, with competing (and changing) priorities.
  • Ability to dynamically reprioritize work and immediately see the effect on all active projects (for example, if you put a deadline at risk because another project is dropped in and takes precedence).
  • Great transparency of entire project portfolio, since by default everything resides in a single workspace. Nobody can hide from missed deadlines; they're there for all to see.
  • Product is designed to be collaborative; everyone can easily update the status of their own tasks, capture conversations at a project or task level (reducing email overload), and attach documents from other services such as Box.
  • Great online help/support portal with lots of video tutorials and knowledge base articles.
  • Our dedicated customer success manager has been more than willing to help us in any way possible to improve our utilization of LiquidPlanner by sharing best practices, reviewing our workspace and making suggestions, etc. If you are willing to invest in LiquidPlanner, they are there to support you every step of the way.
Cons
  • Security/permissions could be more flexible. Users can be granted access to either the entire project workspace or specific projects. I'd prefer a middle option where you can grant a user access to all current and future projects that reside in a particular "package" (a LiquidPlanner construct for grouping similar tasks or projects).
  • LiquidPlanner has some unique scheduling concepts that may be unfamiliar to seasoned project managers who dream about Gantt charts and are MS Project experts. In fact, this is one of the reasons why some individuals at my company have struggled to embrace it. I think that LiquidPlanner could add some modules to their online support site to focus specifically on this type of individual and help to ease the transition to the LiquidPlanner way of thinking.
  • Their desktop web application is stellar. However, they've been lagging in updating their mobile app. I don't think that the mobile app needs all of the functionality of the desktop web application (it would make the smartphone app too complicated to use), but the basic UI hasn't evolved along with iOS and could use some sprucing up.
LiquidPlanner is great for any organization looking for an easy-to-use collaborative project management solution and is willing to break away from the "MS Project style" of project management. It is suited particularly well for agencies or consulting firms who work on client projects, although we are a CPG company, and I have no issue using it for internal projects.
