Breakdown of core features

Smart estimation

The platform uses ranged estimates for capturing, viewing, and managing uncertainty. It utilizes best-case – worst-case estimates to feed the predictive scheduling engine. This calculates the forecasted completion window.

Time management

LiquidPlanner has built-in time tracking capabilities. It automatically records changes and adjusts schedules in real-time. Moreover, it allows teams to see farther into the future and know where the time goes.

Insights

Users can leverage data-driven insights to improve performance and support key decisions in the project portfolio. The solution surfaces actionable insights to drive decisions at the right time. It also provides the Schedule Insights feature for calling out plan progress, risk, and workload.

Predictive scheduling

LiquidPlanner’s scheduling engine runs Monte Carlo simulations on the whole portfolio while respecting constraints like prioritization, dependencies, target dates, and team member availability. This results in a living schedule that visualizes risk and lets teams optimize workload while never over-loading anyone.
