Amazing value for so many useful tools. Worth the price just for the resource capacity planner!
As a PM, these templates made my life less complicated! The excel templates are also easy use and understand – making it so convenient to track projects (from start to completion), tasks and resources. Thank you!
Great products. Simple formulas.
Been using these for a while now – have found them easy to use, customise and understand (the video tutorials are especially good!)
Structuralized layout, simple interface, and effective for immediate using.
Would be perfect if formatting plus layout are standardized across the whole set of project templates, which should also be provided with a short video demo showing how the project templates are related / supplemented each other as a complete kit.
On the whole, I really enjoy the templates, and its concept. Thank you Indzara.
