MSI Turbo Project 4.0 Standard

TurboProject is easy to learn and use. Tutorials and templates get you up and running in minutes, while a unique combination of Top-Down and Loose Layout planning, coupled with unlimited undo and redo capability allow project managers greater flexibility when it comes to planning and tracking. NEW TurboProject v4 combines power and versatility with a truly comprehensive set of new scheduling, activities, and resource management features for both single and multiple projects.


(NEW) SUPPORT FOR OPENING PROJECT FILES IN THE MICROSOFT PROJECT DATABASE FORMAT .MPD
TurboProject offers unrivalled compatibility for sharing project information with users of Microsoft Project 98. Many users and surprisingly many vendors are not aware that Microsoft no longer offers file compatibility using the .MPX format. In addition, due to significant enhancements in the way resource usage information is handled in Microsoft Project 98, saving to .MPX will result in the loss of this type of information. For example, accurate distribution of resource work hours (both actual and planned) and splits in activities will all be lost when an .MPX file is opened in Microsoft Project or another Project Management application with which a user is attempting to share data. However, with TurboProject 4.0, all this detailed information can be viewed directly, by saving the file to Microsoft Project .MPD format.
NEW) PUBLISH TO THE WEB
Now with TurboProject v4, any table can be instantly published to the Web in HTML format by simply choosing from one of a number of preformatted templates. You can even publish tabular reports, export them in HTML, and then view them in a browser. For example, a weekly to-do list could be exported as an HTML file and sent directly to team members assigned to the project. This would enable a larger organization to publish tabular reports on a corporate Intranet.

Superior Functions Reduce the Time You Spend Creating and Maintaining Project Plans
(NEW) RESOURCE USAGE SPREADSHEET VIEW
The Resource Usage View is an excellent tool for resolving overallocation problems. This feature summarizes, by resource, all activities the resource is assigned to on a given project. When an activity is selected in the Gantt or table pane, the spreadsheet pane will refresh to display a list of the resources assigned to that activity, as well as details for each activity to which the resources have been assigned. This allows users to review the allocation of a resource to see if they are overallocated or underallocated. Values displayed in the spreadsheet pane can be selected from a list of 51 curves, offering the user a multitude of ways to display resource and expense information. In comparison, Microsoft Project 98 and 2000 offer only offer 24 curves. This means that TurboProject v4 provides the user with more tailored information suited to their individual needs. To make management and selection of these curves easy, curve templates can be defined and selected from a dropdown list in the Property Templates toolbar. This flexible and intuitive feature will save users a lot of time, unlike any other product in this segment of the market.


(NEW) ACTIVITY USAGE SPREADSHEET VIEW
This view shows a list of all resources assigned to any activity chosen in the Gantt table pane of the view. In the above example, the timescale has been adjusted to days, and the daily assignment values for each resource assigned to this activity are displayed. The daily values can be modified to create a profile allowing a resource's work to be distributed in a way that reflects the manner in which the resources will carry out the work. For example, the resource Labor might need to work for a longer period than the standard working day for the first two days of the activity. Because the spreadsheet is interactive, the user can enter the value for the Original Resource hours directly into the spreadsheet pane.
Plus, you'll have the ability to instantly change the scale of display of data in the spreadsheet pane from Days to Weeks, Months, Quarters or Years by clicking on the scale buttons above the spreadsheet grid.

(NEW) SPLIT AND RECURRING ACTIVITIES
You now have more power than before with regard to these types of activities. With TurboProject 4, you can divide an activity that must occur in segments and you can schedule activities that happen on a recurring basis (such as that Monday morning weekly meeting).
Presentation-Quality Output and Ability to choose Views, Shapes and Formats
(NEW) PROPERTY TEMPLATES
With version 4.0 the user is now able to customize any aspect of the view including the contents of each pane of the active window. The aim has been to provide users at any level with a feature set normally only found in products that are designed with presentations in mind. Having created plans, how does a user get their message across if they can't set up views in a way that they feel works for the intended audience?
