MinuteMan Has 3 views for entering and viewing the schedule; OutLine , PertChart, and TimeLine (or 'Gantt Chart'). A Project Summary view is also available to describe the project overall
(Click Images to Enlarge)
The Outline View is MinuteMan's primary data entry screen. A spreadsheet-like approach to entering tasks allows the easy definition of relationships between tasks, and shows "the whole picture" in one view.
On the left-hand side you create an outline of your work. (This is also called a "Work Breakdown Structure".) In the area on the right you enter detail sub-tasks (the red and blue-boxes). The top of the screen lists detail information (dates, costs, etc.) for the currently highlighted task. The "flow" of work is typically entered from left to right. Tasks can be moved around, and links created between tasks, using drag-and-drop techniques. The work-flow can be viewed in further detail by switching to the PERT View.
- Milestones are indicated as diamonds
- Critical Path Tasks and Milestones are indicated in red
- A Percent Complete Marker can be displayed for each task or milestone
-
The outline can be indented to 5 levels.
MinuteMan provides an industry-standard PERT-Chart View of the project. Key information for each task or milestone is displayed in a box. Dependency lines, or "links" are drawn between dependent tasks.
Complete editing capabilities are provided in this view ; adding/deleting/moving tasks, changing any task's data, editing links, etc.
- Tasks are shown as rectangles, Milestones with clipped corners
- Critical Path Tasks and Milestones are indicated in red
- A Percent Complete Marker can be displayed for each task or milestone
