Version 0.2 Screenshots

Development continues on version 0.2 of Prozima. This version will include over 30 major bug fixes, making the next release of the application a lot more stable and functional. We have generated some screenshots of version 0.2 in action to give an idea of what the application looks like.

Prozima features a tabbed interface, which allows the user to quickly switch between alternative views of their projects and schedules. Fig.1 shows the Manager's Dashboard tab, which contains a high-level summary of the status of each project and resource. This high-level dashboard allows the user to instantly judge the status of a portfolio of projects. At the top of the dashboard, a trend chart illustrates the total effort worked across all projects and the difference between planned and actual work performed.

In the middle of the dashboard, there are two tables containing a summary of the status of each resource and project. This facilitates the quick identification of areas where actual performance is lagging behind scheduled performance. Finally, the "Today's Activities" table provides the user with a view of which activities have outstanding work to be performed i.e. what should be worked on today and whats behind schedule.

Fig.2 Projects Tab

The Projects tab in Fig.2 displays a list of all the current Projects. When the user selects a specific project, much more detailed information appears at the bottom of the application. Here, the user can view and update project's active schedule and other properties. In Fig.2, the Schedules tab is visible, which allows the user to manage schedules and baselines. The user also has the option to manage the Work Breakdown Structure for the project and update the project's calendar and timetable using the WBS tab.

Fig.3 Gantt Chart View of a Schedule

Any schedule can be viewed using a Gantt Chart view, as shown in Fig.3. Prozima provides all of the functionality of a standard Gantt chart and provides several enhanced features not currently seen in other project management tools. The aim is to provide a highly interactive Gantt Chart which allows the user to drill into the data. As with all other information in Prozima, the Gantt Chart updates in realtime and does not require refreshing by the user.

Prozima version 0.2 currently has a scheduled release date of the 12 February 2009.
