inShort 9.0

This application offers a distinctive approach to project management, viewing your project as a coordinated mechanism progressing towards its goal. The original methodology allows for breaking down project objectives into smaller goals, processes, and resources while maintaining an understanding of the overall project structure. Project management entails achieving goals rather than simply following a plan, a crucial distinction emphasized by this application.

The software merges the traditional project approach based on Gantt charts with project management through workflow diagrams. While Gantt charts effectively illustrate project schedules, they may not capture the intricate connections between processes, goals, and resources as conveniently.

In a more formal sense, users can construct a customized PERT diagram of the project based on BPMN notation, representing events and processes at nodes. This project description is then utilized to create a Gantt chart and monitor project progress.

inShort is a robust tool for project and business process management suitable for office and personal use. Users can delve deeper into the program's capabilities with the comprehensive interactive User Guide.

Key features of the application include:

• Building process and resource diagrams of the project using BPMN-based PERT network notation
• Detailed exploration of workflow diagram elements
• Project progress tracking
• Integration with standard calendars
• Visualization of project tasks in Gantt chart format
• Segregation of physical and information flows in projects
• Specification of expected execution times directly or parametrically
• Exporting charts to PDF files and OPML outlines
• Project management following the Theory of Constraints methodology
• Working calendars accommodating different task implementation schedules
• Task queues for organized work based on GTD methodology principles
• Checklists for diagrams to streamline step-by-step project management actions

The application's advanced features include aspects aligned with the Theory of Constraints technique such as identifying critical paths, positioning time buffers, calculating buffer sizes, determining late starts for project feeding paths, and monitoring time indicators throughout project execution.
