StakePoint

When you work with a team, and you want to make sure your projects are completed in due time, you might want to rely on a dedicated software solution like StakePoint.

It can help you not only plan every step of any complex project, but also to assign employees or team members to each task, thus making sure every aspect is taken care of.

The application comes with an exhaustive graphic user interface (GUI) that might even seem a little bit overwhelming for first-time users.

However, once you start creating a new project and add some tasks, you can easily understand the app’s functions and learn to take advantage of them in the long run.

It is recommended to take some time to create a database with all the people you can count on when embarking on a new project, so as to be able to assign them tasks suitable to their skills.

One of the most useful functions of StakePoint is the graphic representation it automatically creates for each of your projects and tasks. This way, you can monitor the completion levels for each scheduled week or day and make sure there are no delays.

Moreover, you can manually adjust duration or progress for each task by using only your mouse, i.e. without tampering with the settings or the project configuration.

If you are looking for a more detailed overview of the progress, as well as the budget invested in each stage, StakePoint allows you to analyze dedicated Progress and Value charts.

The Resources chart can help you get a clear idea of the involvement of your staff in each task, as you can view which person worked on a given day by simply navigating to a chosen date.

You can alter the colors, take a snapshot of the graph and copy it to your clipboard, or export the data to an Excel spreadsheet (Excel needs to be installed for this function to work).

Last, but not least, StakePoint makes it possible for you to add attachments to your scheduled projects, and you can open the documents with the default apps on your system.

The application comes in handy to all those who need to keep a firm grip on their team and keep an eye on planning and organizing hefty projects.
