Download DevPlanner v2.2.1 April 24, 2006

DevPlanner is a time planning and to-do list software that allows keeping track of projects, personal tasks, and other activities. Main idea of DevPlanner based on four terms:

task, estimation, daily schedule and "self-imposed" deadline. These four things are really important for

managing tasks and gathering time feedback, as result improving individual productivity and estimating skills.
How DevPlanner helps in being more productive?

DevPlanner carefully stores tasks grouped in categories, stages,

projects or any other units required. These tasks are source for planning and time tracking. Each task can be estimated, deadlined, prioritized and scheduled once or more for today or later date. No need to remember tasks,

DevPlanner will do it for You. Just fill your daily time using already defined tasks or define other tasks in any time you need.
What is a colors list on the right pane of DevPlanner?
New release of DevPlanner includes exciting possibility to track emotional state by selecting appropriate color. Mood changing statistics can be visualized in Moods Map using DevPlanner report template of the same name. This is invaluable source for placing right tasks to the right time. For example, almost every Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday morning I'm fresh and exciting. This time I prefer using for important meetings and learning.

How to manage team using DevPlanner?

DevPlanner helps building individual weekly and project reports. Mature companies require such reports to control presence and work of every team member. For example, Weekly Work Review report can show weekly sheet of time spent for each task and category daily.
Why not timesheet software?
The problem of any timesheet software is a requirement for decency of employee. There is no effective way to check truthfulness of entered data. In opposite,

DevPlanner allows collecting time taken by every task implicitly. While people perform usual daily work with personal planning and become more productive, their planning data can be reused to build accurate timesheet reports.

What about truthfulness of DevPlanner timesheet reports?

DevPlanner requires estimation for every task. Comparing estimation and reality can highlight underestimations. Underestimated tasks are subject to review for at least two reasons: understanding their causes and checking truthfulness of entered data.

How to keep privacy of employee personal tasks?

Effective management does not require knowing all employee tasks, just important for work or project. DevPlanner allows selecting category for reporting. All tasks outside of this category, including non working activities, will not be shown in the report.

How to customize reports?

DevPlanner allows customizing report templates. Report templates are

XSL files. There is a good set of predefined report templates:

project reports, timesheet reports and task list reports. They can be copied to a personal folder, thus will not be overridden by DevPlanner future releases and updates.
