Spreadsheet Schedules Are The Past. ForeSource Is The Future.
Spreadsheets have long been the go-to tool for managing project schedules, but they come with a number of drawbacks. Here are some of the most significant issues with using spreadsheets for project scheduling and how ForeSource addresses them:
-
- Limited collaboration and communication: Spreadsheets are typically used by one person at a time, making it difficult to collaborate and communicate with team members. ForeSource, on the other hand, is a cloud-based platform that allows multiple users to access and update the project schedule in real-time, improving communication and collaboration among team members.
- Lack of version control: With spreadsheets, it’s easy to lose track of different versions of the schedule and to inadvertently overwrite or delete important information. ForeSource solves this issue by automatically saving multiple versions of the schedule and allowing users to access previous versions if needed.
- Error-prone: Spreadsheets are prone to errors, such as incorrect formulas or data entry mistakes. ForeSource addresses this issue by providing a user-friendly interface with built-in error checking, reducing the likelihood of errors.
- Static Input and Feedback: A spreadsheet only creates a visual representation of a task or project. ForeSource gives you a dynamic model that can be edited to adjust with your everyday needs. As conditions change so does your model and everything attached to it adjusts automatically.
- Limited resource management: Spreadsheets don’t provide the ability to manage resources such as people, materials, equipment, and finances. ForeSource provides a centralized platform for managing all project resources, improving overall resource management.
- Limited collaboration and communication: Spreadsheets are typically used by one person at a time, making it difficult to collaborate and communicate with team members. ForeSource, on the other hand, is a cloud-based platform that allows multiple users to access and update the project schedule in real-time, improving communication and collaboration among team members.
