RationalPlan

RationalPlan is a project management software designed to help project managers and teams create consistent project plans, allocate resources, track work progress, estimate costs, and manage budgets. It addresses the need for structured project oversight, aiming to keep projects on time and within budget by following general guidelines from the project management domain.

The software includes features for task management with work or duration-driven activities, dependencies, and milestones. It offers Gantt charts with critical path detection, resource management with workload tracking and leveling, cost tracking with Earned Value Management, and portfolio management for multi-project structures with shared resources. Additional capabilities include a Kanban board, collaboration tools with comments and email notifications, document management, custom calendars, and reporting. It integrates with Microsoft Project files and is available through both a web interface and a desktop application.

RationalPlan is intended for small to middle-sized companies in areas such as construction, engineering, services, consulting, and software development. It is offered as a cloud service with monthly tiers based on metrics for users, tasks, projects, and storage, or as on-premise products with a one-time license. The on-premise editions include Single Project, Multi Project, and Project Server, which provides centralized, concurrent access for multiple users.
