Unless you are enforcing timesheets to track actual hours worked, budget tracking of resource time is fraught with difficulties. Having said that, I’ve found that there is limited use for this kind of cost tracking on projects. The cost column is calculated based on the effort estimate (or fixed cost, if you are using a resource with a fixed cost). So task duration can be 1 week but the estimate for effort is 8 hours. You can do duration and effort-based planning - genius. Resources can have a cost associated with The name of a person you want to allocate tasks to but you don’t want them to have a login to the software.A physical resource like a server or a piece of equipment.You can also add virtual resources, which There’s also the ‘owner’ role which acts as system admin and has access to all projects and billing information. I can’t think of anyone on my teams I’d want to give that to, to be honest. Members can only edit tasks to which they have been assigned, and they can’t change task start and end dates. As I understand it, you’ll need to set up each project manager as an administrator, as the alternative role (a member) has limited edit rights.

Under that you can add tasks, and the additional ‘three dots’ menu lets you add subtasks infinitely. This could represent a workstream, group of tasks or literally a sub-project, if you are planning a program. The highest level on your project Gantt chart is a sub-project. Once that’s done, you see the Gantt chart view. Your team a generous lunch break if you like.

Having said that, I rate myself as a ‘normal’ user of MSP because I don’t use a lot of the advanced cost tracking features etc. I tend to compare things to Microsoft Project because that’s the tool I know the best and have used for years. The power of GanttPRO is - as you’ve guessed from the name - in the Gantt charting. There’s also an ‘individual’ plan if you’re the sole project manager who needs a Gantt charting solution, and that’s $15 per month.
