In addition to scheduling, MinuteMan can assign costs to tasks and provide a graphical display of their usage. Two types of costs are supported; People-costs and Expenditures.

People-costs can be assigned using individuals (Bill, Martha, etc.) or job categories (Technician, Carpenter, Department Manager, etc). Per-hour labor costs can be assigned for each. A maximum limit can be set on the quantity available of each resource; over usage is tracked and highlighted.

Expenditures can be used to identify major cash outlays ("license fee", "tooling charge", etc) or to track use of key materials or components (need 50 Brochures in May, 500 in June, etc.).

This provides an overall project cost or budget, as well as identifying the when costs will occur.

Percentage-Completion can be tracked on a task-by-task basis, to get a sense of overall project completion. An "earned value" is calculated for individual tasks as well as the entire project.

Resource usage can be included in text reports using the Report Generator, and can also be displayed graphically using the TimeLine. Overall Usage is shown at left. Another view breaks out usage on a per-task basis.
