The Pareto principle (the 80/20 rule)
Compared with other products, RationalPlan has the same power but is more affordable to users. If you compare, for example, the RationalPlan Single product with Microsoft Project standard version you get 80% of the functionality at 20% of the price. The vendor states that a particular customer, after buying RationalPlan, wanted a refund because could not find certain features that were available in MS Project. After explaining to him where he can find that functionality, the vendor also recommended to keep the product. A few days later, the vendor received this answer: “Now that I get to know RationalPlan better, I wouldn’t want to miss it anymore. You helped me save a lot of money by preventing me from buying MS-Project.”
Embedded project guide
Project management applications tend to be a little bit more complicated and require some training for users to understand how to use them. There are special terms and notions that need additional explanations to understand them. RationalPlan offers an embedded project guide that takes users step by step through the whole process of initiating, planning and controlling a project. It is great for a novice or accidental project manager and also has the power and the tools to assist an experienced one. Once users get used to the software they can hide the project guide, increase the workspace area and create their own pattern in using the product.
Works everywhere
RationalPlan was developed to work on any operating system: Windows, Mac OS X, different Linux flavors. Even more with the cloud service module it can run directly within the browser no matter what the underlying operating system is.
Reliable support
One of the main aspects that RationalPlan believes in is client satisfaction. That is why customer support is a priority for the vendor.
Our suite of project management software is designed to reach various needs from managing independent projects for individuals or small firms to managing multiple related projects with shared resources for medium and large companies.
Create a role where he can only see the projects he is interested in. Then, after creating a user having such a role, declare the projects he is interested in and he will be able to only see those projects. The same procedure can be used for other types of restrictions like the possibility to only update the projects a user is interested in.
