Overview of Manage Project planning

Polarion implements a time-box approach to project planning. It is not necessary to spend time tracking down the progress on tasks and issues, and then update a project planning tool with the latest data. With Polarion, managers and teams concentrate on planning which Work Items will be completed for a specific time point and marking the Work Items accordingly. As Work Items are completed, Polarion keeps track of the project status automatically. Project managers and others can always check the status by querying the system for Work Items resolved for a given Time Point (or other time period), or Work Items still not resolved. Queries can be embedded in wiki pages, making it easy for anyone to check the status at any time. This approach works with all Polarion products.

The Live Plan view of the Work Items topic rolls up the latest project status information and presents it as a GANTT style chart. The Live Plan makes it easy to spot over and undertasked people, identify dependencies and potential bottlenecks, and understand if the project is on track or at risk.
