Asta Powerproject is used by all of our planners. It is used for planning, I would guess, for 90% of the projects we do. It is a stated requirement within our bid documents that we want contractors to use Asta Powerproject or Asta Easyplan."

Record and Track Costs
  • Create cost centres and assign monetary values to tasks.
  • Accurately forecast cashflow by combining time and cost/ income.
  • Report on planned versus actual costs.
  • Extensive Earned Value Analysis.
 Fast Accurate Respource Management
Schedule more precisely
  • Create any type and any number of links between tasks using your mouse, without having to specify link type or lead lag. Alternatively type the link details into a dialogue or spreadsheet column.
  • Produce an accurate, critical path analysis (CPA) every time with just one click and get an optional report of the project status.
  • Plan forwards or backwards for the whole project, sections of the project, or individual tasks with constraint dates.
  • Control the project more precisely with different task types: start and finish milestones, summary/ expanded tasks, buffer tasks, hammock tasks and interruptible tasks.
  • Assign different calendars to different tasks.
  • Easily follow the path of links through the different tasks.
 Accurately Resource Scheduling
Accurately record and show progress
  • Record regular progress using coloured progress periods of your own creation. This lets you clearly see how much work was done on a task in each period.
  • Information on how much progress was records in a specific progress period is kept, even when the task is completed to provide an unparalleled 'as built' record.
  • Display the recorded progress percentage marked against the baseline tasks in a special Jagged Progress view. Ideal for those managers who don't want to show the effects on the forecast end date.
 Accurate Progress Reporting
Monitor actual v planned progress
  • Take a baseline of the original project plan before work starts, as a record of what has been agreed contractually.
  • As the project progresses, you can make as many baselines as you need to - e.g. on a weekly or monthly basis. The baselines are a copy of the whole project and not just key data, for example, any changes to a calendar's working time can be demonstrated. This is vital should a dispute situation arise as it means you have an accurate record of exactly what happened.
 Monitor Progress against any number of baselines
Outstanding presentation of project plans
  • Highlight important information by adding annotations such as text pictures, colour shading and Microsoft Windows objects (Excel® spreadsheets, AutoCAD® drawings etc.).
  • Customise all 4 sides of the page via a custom border, with your own logo's and references.
  • Gain total control over printouts: you define where you want the page break; what you see on screen is what is printed and you can automatically scale your project to a single page.
  • Show only those parts of the plan that are relevant by turning different aspects of the bar chart on or off, e.g. float, critical path, holidays, links, etc.
