Asta Powerproject has been a standard project management solution for the construction industry for 21 years and is used by construction professionals around the world. Asta Powerproject version 11 represents a major upgrade which introduces new ways of working which will be familiar to Oracle Primavera users, enhanced management reporting, improved spreadsheet-
The new version offers users more control and choices about information displays plus familiar ways of working that will appeal to a wider range of potential users. It adds new usability features and improved project and management reporting, as well as scheduling enhancements designed specifically to support house-builders and certain stages of the construction process, such as procurement and finishings.
Asta Powerproject version 11 marks a major step forward for a product which has been in continuous development for over two decades, as Asta Development has remained committed to listening to and integrating user feedback and requests.
Some of the most significant new features include:
• Choices for users who may prefer to work with the Oracle Primavera-style coded Work Breakdown Structure when using Asta Powerproject, rather than Asta Powerproject’
• Familiarity features that make the product even more intuitive to learn and use include an enhancement to spreadsheet-
• Enhanced sorting capabilities including simpler Sort Properties, colour banding on WBS, Code Libraries and Resources and a wider range of sort orders, some of which will be very familiar to Primavera users.
• Enhanced reporting for easier diagnostics and more powerful management reporting including a n overview executive management report – the Project Overview report – which graphically demonstrates (with pie charts, bar charts etc) progress, costs and durations in comparison to a baseline.
• Overlapping tasks on a single row of the project plan has been further enhanced to address needs of house-builders and to those managing the procurement and finishing stages of construction processes that very often have one task commencing before another linked task is complete. With complete control over the degree of overlap it means that even tasks which overlap by 100% can be easily identified.
