RationalPlan Project Management Software 3.15.4 Increased Execution

Stand By Soft has released RationalPlan 3.15.4, a strong project
management software application developed to assist project managers in
creating plans, tracking progress, allocating resources, managing budgets
and analyzing workload. The new version comes with a significant increase
in its execution speed, more task types, silent install possibility on
Windows and some more interface improvements.

Important changes of this version:

* Added more task types
* Increased execution speed
* Silent install possibility on Windows
* Bug fixes

RationalPlan added more task types. Until now users could handle tasks
that have only fixed units for the assigned resources. This means that
once resources were assigned to tasks with a certain amount of units these
units were fixed that is do not change on other task changes like duration
or work. The functionality was like this: changing task duration resulted
in keeping units fixed and adjusting task work; and the reverse changing
task work resulted in keeping units fixed and adjusting task duration.
With this new feature project managers have the possibility to
automatically adjust the units when changing task duration and to keep the
task work and the reverse keep the task duration when changing the task
work. This feature is useful in the case the project manager assigns a
resource on a task that does not performs a regular activity. The manager
knows that that task requires \"x\" hours of work and that the duration is
\"y\" days. In this case the application will automatically compute the
needed unit.

The execution speed of RationalPlan was significantly increased. The
application has a shorter start time and most of the actions take a lot
less time. The most notable increase can be seen on actions that could
trigger a reschedule on the current project: delete and paste tasks,
duration or constraints changes, dependencies etc.

Starting with current version RationalPlan users can install the products
silently that is without any user interaction. This could be useful for an
easier deployment on multiple computers. Other changes to the interface of
the application were done both for the Windows and the Mac OS X platform.
The assignments email notification was also a bit improved. Now resources
can see the percent completion of the assigned tasks and the full path of
that task relative to the project for a better identification. Further
more the project managers can use multiple email addresses when sending
the assignments to resources. This is useful if you need to send an email
copy to the resource supervisor.
