Founders Charles Seybold and Jason Carlson are former senior managers at Expedia.com. Both experienced technologists, they helped build one of the world’s largest and most recognizable online businesses. Having seen countless projects flounder or fall flat in the absence of effective project planning tools, they took it upon themselves to fill the void. The result is LiquidPlanner.

LiquidPlanner is online project management software built on an innovative probabilistic scheduling system (patents pending). It takes a new approach to frictionless collaboration and is designed to be flexible, intuitive, and smart enough to support fast-moving teams of all sizes and structures.

Scheduling and Collaboration Made Easy

These days, project teams almost never stand still.  With LiquidPlanner, you can actually keep up.  LiquidPlanner is online project management software that offers teams a complete project environment, smart social features, and a revolutionary new scheduling engine.

A simple but powerful alternative to Microsoft Project, LiquidPlanner offers task management, project scheduling, integrated time sheets, and team collaboration in one central place.  And unlike other tools, LiquidPlanner helps teams manage change, deal with uncertainty, and learn from mistakes so they can deliver projects on time, every time.

Manage Large, Distributed, or Virtual Teams

Even if half of your team is abroad or you have contractors coming and going, LiquidPlanner gives you a central spot to collaborate, communicate, schedule, share, and stay on track. See efficiency skyrocket as time spent meeting and tracking down answers fades away.

• Trusted, Flexible Team Model - Easily include off-shore resources, contractors, or consultants in your secure project space. LiquidPlanner is always on so you can connect, disconnect, and invite new members at any time.

• Resource Scheduling - View each team member’s tasks in priority order to quickly evaluate their timelines and availability. Drag and drop items to adjust schedules as needs change.

• Social Project Networking – Through a dashboard-based chat application, team members’ comments and questions related to tasks and ideas are integrated directly into the project plan.

• Wiki-like Commenting & Document Sharing – Create a single source of project truth by keeping all communication, descriptions, documents, and links related to a task or project attached directly to the item right in the project plan.

• Project & Workload Analysis - View the amount of work assigned to each team member on a project and make critical decisions about resource needs and task assignments.

Execute Multiple Projects at a Time

Don’t just multi-task, manage your time effectively. LiquidPlanner makes prioritizing, organizing, and scheduling simple, no matter how many projects and clients you have to juggle, so you can focus on what’s really important: getting things done.

• Global Priority Management - Set global priorities for your team or the entire organization across multiple projects.

• Multi-level Organization - Create clients, projects, and tasklists so you can view, filter, and zoom in on tasks at any level of detail, no matter how complex the work.

• Real-time Scheduling - No matter how many people are working on your plan at once, rescheduling happens automatically and on the spot, so you’re always up to date.

• Schedule Flow-Around - When a task or project gets delayed, your next-highest priority work will automatically jump ahead in your schedule.

• Dependencies - Create dependency links between tasks assigned to different owners so you can build realistic schedules.

Track Time and Bill Clients

In the business world, time is money. Whether you’re needing to be paid or the one paying out, it’s crucial to keep track. LiquidPlanner lets team members and managers alike track, view, review, and report work hours efficiently.

• Professional Timesheets – Team members can track their time in whatever increments make the most sense (minutes, hours, days, etc.), right in the project plan. Managers get an easy way to view how resources are being utilized.

• Timesheet Review - Jump to the time period or team member you need and quickly process timesheets for billing.

• Timesheet Export – Export timesheets to Quickbooks, CSV, or XML format for integration with your billing system. Sort, analyze, and review data by client, project, resource, time period, and more.
