Dans notre cas, il a réduit le temps de discussion journalier nécessaire à l'établissement des listes de tâches, ainsi que la quantité de réunions. Il a globalement accéléré et fluidifié le travail. Pros Ce qui fonctionne particulièrement bien dans Magic Project est la possibilité de gérer des cycles d'itérations facilement. Il permet également d'avoir une vision d'ensemble du projet et du rythme de création et de finition des tâches. Grâce à sa simplicité d'utilisation et la lisibilité des tâches, les équipes s'en sont emparés très rapidement car il procure un guide fiable et précis dans leur travail. Cons La prise en main par les chefs de projet demande un peu de pratique. De plus, le logiciel est lourd à déployer en cours de projet, mais c'est plus à mettre sur le compte de la quantité de tâches à saisir qu'au logiciel en lui-même.

I could not agree more on the visual presentation and hopefully some UI artists will help me improving this aspect. I noticed you gave 0 stars to the "Value for money" criteria: is it because the product is completely free? Best regards, Xavier.

When initially creating a task, the project manager can set up the complete task flow, from design to implementation and tests. Each person contributing to the task can add comments and files in order to document his part. Once a team member has completed his part, the task is automatically assigned to the next member listed in the flow chart. There is no need for project managers to carry information from one person to another. This helps making the team both more autonomous and more collaborative. Another great thing about this tool is that it centralises a lot of information that is necessary for proper project management: tasks, schedules, expenses and budgets. There is no need to manually report the schedule to a dedicated budgets tracking spreadsheet in order to assess the budget, as the tool uses all information available to properly calculate expenses and forecast budgets. Man month cost, task history and forecast for each team member, external expenses, all this information (and more) is used and helps managers to run projects. Customer support is great, suggestions are always welcome and new features can be proposed. I have suggested some functionalities myself, and have seen the tool evolve over the years. In the end, Magic Project gathers a lot information that makes the team members more autonomous, and gives the projects managers a better view of the project's progress. Cons Newcomers need a bit of adaptation time before they fully understand the tool and feel comfortable with it. Indeed they'll have to use it daily to open and close tasks, and the system relies on their ability to self-report their activity. Some parts of the UI can be confusing and people can make mistakes when using the tool. Making sure everyone is using it properly is necessary in the beginning, and can be an annoyance for some newcomers. However they usually get used to using Magic Projects after a week or so.

Edition Manager E-Learning ### "Successful experience on several projects of 15 - 35 people" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 March 18, 2018 Pros \- Easy task creation process including (but not limited to) fields for the name of the project, a description, a number-based priority system, and a list of steps. - Steps are a good way to divide a task into smaller bits and can be individually assigned to different members, with an estimate length, and can be tagged. - Tags allow the project manager to track a specific kind of step, and get many information including the amount of steps remaining to do, the average estimation, and the actual time spent on average, which allows the PM to adjust according to the result. - Custom steps layout with a visual tool - to change the dependencies between steps. - Friendly drag and drop system onto "Todo" and "On Going" to track on-going tasks for daily users, and tracking of time spent on a task. - A comment section and an uploaded document section per task, to allow discussion between users. - Automatic calendar generated from each steps and priorities - which allows the PM to exactly know when a task starts and ends. - Amount of workload per person in a board - which allows the PM to balance if needed. - Tracking of finished steps via a chosen time frame - which allows the PM to create activity report from it. - Observer system to receive in-page or emails updates about a task. - Tracking of costs. - Tracking of holidays. - Accessible customer support / friendly creator willing to discuss and improve this tool. Cons \- Even thought you can change the colors of the layout, the overall design could be prettier. - Could benefit from an alternative priority system (ASAP / Wishlist / Due date), as a number-based system tends to be difficult to maintain. - Lots of functionalities, it takes time to find and master them all !

Compared to other task software system, the task creation is also quicker so I have saved a lot of time and energy ! Pros It's really easy to use for both project managers and team members. As a project manager, I can set up easily my team's tasks. While there are all the features I need in the task creation page, it's obvious what each field or each box is used for. As a team member, I can check what I should do, what I have done so far and tell my project managers what I am working on in one click. Cons The long-term scheduling is bit tricky to use because : - the formatting of the page isn't the most clear, - it requires all the tasks of a project to be created.

Daily time. Pros The soft is ergonomic, easy to use and allows each team member to organize his tasks and the production pipelines with autonomy and transparency. I had to organize the work of more than 10 teammates, and the soft always met my expectations. Cons The only thing that could be improved is the fact that you need to host the soft yourself.
