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.

A great tool to get an overview of your project workload + time tracking

Our entire company uses LiquidPlanner to schedule projects across all team members and track time. It's great for tracking time and it also really helps us see the big picture of what we're currently working on as well as what's in the pipeline. It allows our sales team to better predict how soon a new project can get on the schedule, and it also helps us better support our existing customers by budgeting hours each week to address any concerns or new items that pop-up on the schedule.
  • Time tracking
  • Gantt chart views of scheduling
  • Multi-user collaboration
Cons
  • Steep learning curve
  • High per-seat price point
  • You can use it to manage projects but I find other tools work better for that need
It is great for large companies or small -- basically any company where you want to be able to get both a high-level overview and a granular look at your current and future workload. It's also great for time tracking, particularly if you want/need to track on a granular and/or task level.

No More Missed Deadlines or Over-Budget Projects

LiquidPlanner is used organization-wide to manage client projects, time budgets, deadlines, project assets and employee time sheets. It keeps all of our projects focused and on track for timely on-budget completion with easy collaboration between team members.
  • Prioritize projects and deadlines.
  • Allow multi-user tasks and set contingencies.
  • Create simple to use working calendar for each user.
Cons
  • Assigning projects from 'Inbox' to actual clients is cumbersome.
  • No direct link to calendar view from main navigation.
  • Drag & drop functionality on calendar view would be helpful.
  • When logging time from a timer, the task disappears from the drop-down. This is an inconvenience if you need to mark the project finished.
It is well suited for companies with multiple divisions/clients and numerous projects. It would be overkill for small companies managing fewer than 25 projects at a time. It is well-suited for those managing teams with multiple members, especially when they're working on the same projects at the same time and/or if their projects are contingent upon each other. LiquidPlanner is highly suited for deadline specific project management.

Powerful, useful, and slightly cumbersome.

Our entire organization uses LiquidPlanner to manage projects and tasks. Our Production department uses it primarily, while our Marketing department has been using it to interact with the Production department on their tasks, and also has been starting to track their own tasks. It addresses the problem of not having a cohesive system for tracking various projects and tasks together. It does an effective job of managing an entire company's tasks.
  • Manages a huge amount of information related to projects and tasks.
  • Offers different views and search options to get the information you're looking for.
  • Estimation and time tracking work well and help keep everyone on the same page.
Cons
  • The interface is messy and cluttered. The best way to find things and see what you actually want to see is the main Projects view which is also the most cluttered and hardest to maneuver in.
  • Clicking an external link someone posted in a comment or task description doesn't open in a new window by default, so we are constantly having to go back to get to LiquidPlanner again.
  • The way that the interface saves your state globally (rather than per tab instance) means that if you click a link from someone else to a task that's not yours, then it adjusts your filters on the Projects page. Then if you refresh another LiquidPlanner window where you were on the Projects tab, suddenly all of its filters are updated and what you were looking at may no longer be there.
  • It might just be the way that we use the system, but the Home and My Work tabs are fairly useless for us. They typically don't show the tasks we're actually looking for.
It is suited well if the whole company is on-board and if you take the time and effort to train everyone and to use LiquidPlanner as it was designed. Used in such a scenario, I think it could be a very effective project management and task tracking tool. If you have custom needs and need a solution that will bend to support almost any scenario, you might end up fighting with the system to get it to do what you want.

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.

Customizable Project Management Software with Email Integration

LP is used to manage the execution of complex marketing plans and determine available resources for requested projects. Implementation is by a core team of project managers, but all individuals working on projects managed through LP use the platform to track progress, time spent and upload collateral and email conversations. The email integration is especially nice.
  • Email integration is really nice.
  • It has nice dashboard features for quick views and an understanding of where resources are being spent.
Cons
  • Not good for both tracking human resource availability and project management simultaneously. Setting up to do one, makes it hard to do the other.
  • Feels clunky and not very user-friendly.
If you have a large project and all of the people working on it are assigned to a particular tactic from idea, to creation, to review, to execution. Putting everything in one tactic and having checklist items that everyone can see is really useful. However, once a tactic or project is marked done, it is hard to find assets and history if you want to build on that tactic for future project work. Personally, I don't like the user experience with the software. It feels clunky and not intuitive.
