The management triangle is the relationship between three constraints: Time Planned, Time Consumed and Time Difference. Time Planned is an expect amount of working hours allocated to your project. Time Consumed (or Time Spent) is a metric showing how many working hours are spent on doing the project. Time Difference shows the difference between both metrics. The triangle is widely used for scheduling and managing projects, tasks, activities. It will help you create a project plan and break the project down into phases and tasks.
The time triangle is linked to other tools for workforce management. First tool is the time cost quality triangle which shows the dependence between Project Time, Project Cost and Project Quality. Another tool is the time resources money triangle that shows the dependence between Project Time, Project Human Resources, and Project Money.
All the tools for project workforce can be successfully applied with help of VIP Task Manager. This software allows planning project hours, scheduling tasks, allocating human and financial resources, managing project quality, and estimating project cost.

CentriQS Task Scheduling Solution CentriQS users can choose the most convenient way to schedule tasks. If most of your tasks require scheduling, you can add new tasks directly in the Scheduler view. If you schedule tasks from task list, you can drag'n'drop created tasks to the Scheduler panel. If you set task start and finish dates and time, you can do this on the Schedule tab of task detail view. Also CentriQS supports "splitting task" into multiple schedule items in case you plan to break task into parts and schedule them at different time and days of the week. |
