jxProject description
Free Project Management Software - resource leveling

jxProject is a Free Project Management software - Windows/Linux/Mac, Supports resource leveling, parent/child task structures and familiar linking relationships.

Flexible resource scheduling: multiple calendars, timezones, part-time and shifts.

Calendar nesting, schedule inheritance and overiding are all supported. Fixed work and fixed duration task types. Drag and drop of resources and tasks. Overlay of Resource schedules on Gantt Chart, or overlay of tasks on Resource schedule chart. Full chart/table printing with user adjustable scaling.

Here are some key features of "jxProject":

· Built in, self contained constraint solver.
· Supported task link types: Finish to Start, Finish to Finish, Start to Finish, Start to Start, Resource User with positive/negative lag.
· Arbitrary constraints: Start After, Finish After, Start Before, Finish Before.
· Full Undo/Redo and Cut/Copy/Paste functionality.
· Full time resource leveling with user ability to enable/disable.
· A resource optimizer which automatically identifies gaps in resource schedules and moves tasks into those gaps.
· Tasks may be of fixed work, fixed duration, or fixed span. Task schedule driver is clearly indicated in the table.
· World class accuracy: All calculations are performed in milliseconds. Duration driven tasks are scheduled within a (+/-)5 millisecond tolerance, work and span driven tasks are scheduled within (+/-)2 minute tolerance.
· Work, Duration and Span units are user selectable. [Seconds, Minutes, Hours, Days, Weeks, Months, Years]
· Familiar hierarchical parent/child task structure: summary task/task
· No limit to the number of links per task.
· Resource Assignments: Any combination from none, one, multiple or partial resources.
· Clear and traceable circular constraint violation messages allows user to locate dependency problems.
· Drag and Drop to move/copy tasks in the table/chart.
· Drag and Drop resources onto assigned tasks. [Multiple resources to multiple tasks in a single operation]
· True 24 hour representations of all schedules for tasks, resources and calendars.
· Powerful rule based scheduling allows 100% custom schedule for each calendar/resource including part time resources.
· Fully supports shift work scheduling such as first, second, third and/or swing shifts. Four day, ten hour days 4x10s.
· Resources inherit schedules from their parent calendars, overriding of parent schedules is fully supported.
· Each calendar has a timezone which is used consistently throughout all scheduling calculations.
· Supports scheduling of work time, time off, or paid time off.
· The user can define Full Time Equivalent (FTE) work hours for display/edit of actual work of resources.
· Dates supported from the year 1900 through 9999
· Fixed task key number assignments, can be resequenced by user via right mouse click on header.
· Full printing support including the ability to “shrink” the project plan onto significantly fewer pages.
· Ability to overlay Gantt chart with work schedules of resources assigned to tasks
· Support for millions of calendars and resources.
· Ability to overlay tasks assigned to resources on their schedules.


Requirements:

· Java 1.5 or higher installed on system

· The undo/redo stack is limited to 10
· The number of times the user can request automated resource optimization is limited to 10
