JCVGantt Pro 2 was created to make project management a fun, daily activity.

With the help of computers programs that can make thousands of scheduling calculations in the blink of an eye, project management is rapidly moving from an "art" to a "science".

Our program was designed with the aim that you should use your human intelligence for planning and motivating people, not worrying about cost equations and micro-management.

Anyone who has spent time trying to figure out Microsoft Project® or some of the Work Breakdown systems on the market realizes after awhile that these products box you into a style of project management that doesn't take into account two key factors

·         #1 Projects change, often drastically in mid-course

·         #2 Nobody can predict exactly which tasks are required to finish a project that has never been done before.

JCVGantt is designed to be flexible from start to finish allowing you to "play" with your project information interactively.

Pull and tug the Gantt bars all the while keeping an eye on cost as it changes before your eyes in "real-time".

PM's using eXtreme Programming Project Methodology can create "Iteration" Gantt parts that they drag and drop to calculate new project iterations schedules based on the experience of previous projects.
