Meisterplan is a cloud-based project portfolio management and resource management software that can be set up quickly (even in just a few days!). It enables management to align the project portfolio to strategy, keep track of budgets, understand employee capacities and dependencies, and resolve resource conflicts in real-time. A key feature is scenario simulation, which allows you to react to changing circumstances, compare multiple scenarios and see the effect on the project portfolio. The intuitive nature of the software minimizes the learning curve allowing for immediate comprehensive project portfolio planning. Meisterplan also adds portfolio-level planning and resource management to your existing PM tools. This helps users find the optimal mix of projects with the right people and the best timing as well as ensuring that projects are aligned to strategy, enabling better decision-making and successful business outcomes.

Administrator in Management Consulting
Advanced user of MeisterplanWhat do you like best?
Visual tool that packs in a lot of information in a clear visual: Project dates, resource loading and profitability, all at once.
Easy to see the effects of changes (drag an element and the system updates the rest)
Easy to use!
Love the option to consider or exclude certain projects from the calculation, as well as the scenario- planning capacity.
Financials are time-related, so that you can match the inflows with dates or milestones. Great for cash-flow management!
What do you dislike?
Would benefit from some extra customization options (eg: keep milestones fixed once date is in the past, even if the project is prolonged, etc.)
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Don't expect to use for micro-management of individual tasks.
If you are looking to manage multiple project and resources, with an eye for profitability, this is by far the best software I have used!
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
We are a small consulting business with many contractors, each with different schedules and availability and rates. Meisterplan allowed us to make sure our projects were profitable and correctly staffed, and to make sure any change was correctly reflected in the other aspects of the projects.
