📈 Core Features & Functional Highlights

1. Budget vs. Expense Tracker

Keep your financials in check with automated budget vs. expense comparisons and variance indicators.
The dashboard highlights planned vs. actual spending, helping you identify over-budget projects before they become problems.
Visual bar charts and pie charts clearly show your budget utilization percentage and remaining balance for each project.

2. Project Milestones & Task Progress

Monitor every deliverable with a detailed breakdown of task completion rates, milestones achieved, and pending actions.
Color-coded charts (Open, In-Process, Completed, On-Hold, Cancelled) make it easy to see the real-time status of each task category.
This ensures complete visibility into where delays occur and what needs immediate attention.

3. Risk Management Panel

Identify and evaluate risks by severity — Low, Medium, or High — with built-in charts showing both the number of outstanding risks and their current progress.
You can filter by project, employee, or risk type, helping managers take proactive measures before issues escalate.

4. HR-Team & Resource Hours

The HR-Team sheet displays planned versus actual working hours, highlighting team performance and resource allocation.
Track how many hours are logged per project and measure employee productivity against expected output.
This is especially valuable for PMOs, HR managers, and resource planners seeking to optimize utilization.

5. Interactive Gantt Chart

Visualize timelines for every project, milestone, and task using the integrated Gantt Chart View.
Color-coded bars make it easy to understand project sequencing, dependencies, and deadlines.
Simply select your project from the dropdown list, and the chart dynamically updates to show start date, end date, duration, and completion percentage.

6. Heat Map View

The Heat Map dashboard summarizes workload and progress across months, showing planned vs. actual hours distribution.
Ideal for executive overviews, it helps identify months with high workloads or delays — allowing smarter scheduling decisions.

7. Calendar Integration

A visual Calendar View helps you map all project activities day by day.
Managers can choose the year and month to instantly see upcoming milestones, due dates, and team schedules — improving communication and coordination.

8. Automated Reports

Export custom reports instantly in Excel, PDF, or PowerPoint format.
Use pre-set report buttons to create presentation-ready files for Budget vs. Expense, Planned vs. Actual Hours, Project Progress, or Milestone Performance — perfect for weekly or monthly reviews.
