projectfacts 2022.4

The new projectfacts: Perfect for your projects

Projects are a central element of the software. The new projectfacts version therefore offers you even more possibilities to plan, control and successfully complete your projects.

Our highlights

Manage project portfolios

Many projects, limited resources and a tight schedule. This is how it is known from many companies. projectfacts now supports you to link different projects, work packages and a capacity to a common milestone. This way you effectively manage your project portfolio and make sure that everything is finished by the deadline.

Hybrid project management

The idea of hybrid project management is as simple as it is ingenious: take the best of the classic and agile worlds and combine them in a way that makes the most sense for your own company. Therefore, in projectfacts you can now combine classic work breakdown structure planning with sprints from the Scrum world. The result: Clear framework conditions, but a flexible and customer-oriented execution.

Task manager

The task manager is a new central element in projectfacts. It bundles all important tasks that you or your team have to do in one place. You can access it at any time via the status bar. The task manager is ideal for hybrid project management, because it gives you an overview of your project sprints.

Microsoft Single Sign-on

Save yourself duplicate login processes. For users of Microsoft 365, a manual login for projectfacts is no longer necessary. Instead, the login is done via single sign-on with Azure AD. So you can start even faster in the morning and have to enter one password less.
