Tom's Planner

edit

Tom’s Planner is a web-based project planning system that allows anyone to easily create, collaborate, share and publish online planning schedules (Gantt Charts) with drag and drop simplicity.

Tom’s Planner is the ideal starting point for virtually every project. You can visualize your planning thoughts directly into an easy-to-use, intuitive planning chart with no extensive user manual required. Plus, you have the option of savng information on your hard drive or in the cloud.

Tom’s Planner is intuitive, easy to use, and gives control back to the project manager while ensuring projects are kept private and secure. Programs such as MS Project and Primavera are often too complex for most people, and planning projects in Excel is often extremely time consuming and clunky.

Key features of Tom’s Planner include:

• Create schedules and plans with simple “drag and drop” actions
• No extensive manual or installation required; a brief 3-minute tutorial is available or you can start creating schedules immediately with a click of a link
• Share schedules online with teams or groups in one convenient place that’s accessible from any computer with Internet access
• Collaborate on schedules with team members or clients and assign “co-edit” or “view only” rights as required
• Real-time connection with your team or clients allows you to see who is currently working on a schedule
• Auto-save functionality so work is never lost
• Users have the option to save schedules either on their hard drive or in the cloud
• Embed schedules on websites, blogs and intranet pages
• Export schedules to MS Project if desired
• Optimized print functionality including a printer-friendly PDF version of your planning schedule
• Viewing schedules is free, no account needed

Tom’s Planner also offers a variety of sample project planning templates to jump start the creation of project schedules including Gannt Chart, project planning, resource planning or event planning templates.

Founded in 2009 by former project manager, Thomas Ummels, Tom’s Planner is a privately held company based in The Netherlands.
