Accuplan is a straight forward project planner that provides standard features like tasks, resources, budgets and timelines. It also allows you to view graphs, calendars, WBS view and reports.
It is a commercial product but quite affordable. However, as a commercial project, probably Accuplan should include more unique features to make it stand out from the rest.
We rate it 3.5/5
Accuplan is quite easy to learn and it is useful for experienced and new project managers.
Some features:
- Share project data among all stakeholders on any network.
- Build your project in Gantt view or as a spread sheet like grid.
- Free WBS (Work breakdown structure) view lets you visually create Task Hierarchies
- New Free integration with Ms Outlook mail and Reminder/Calendar
- Visually track of budgets and costs.
- Drag and drop to easily create task dependencies in any direction
- Automatically reschedule dependent tasks.
- See on-screen constraints, milestones, and deadlines that give a clear picture at a glance.
- Automatically calculate task and project durations based on number and availability of associated resources.
- Automatically adjust to skip holidays, weekends, and other downtime.
- View graphs of your resource allocations to identify under- and over-allocations.
- Resolve allocation conflicts with a "Resource Gantt View."
- Get up to speed fast with an intuitive interface that makes Accu Plan quick and easy to learn.
- Exchange data with other Windows applications.
- Import schedule data generated by other project management software, including MS Project.
- Print out presentation-quality reports to any Widows-supported printer or plotter.
- Output to a large selection of formats, including XML, Excel, MS Access, MS. Word, and HTML.

Really a good product but unfortunately the developer (Abdul Basit) seems not to work anymore on it (he works now at http://www.computer-frontiers.com/).
There is still a dedicated web site for the product at http://www.issisinc.com/
where you can download a version more recent than the one in CNet
Very impressed to know about Accuplan the straight forward project planner that provides standard features like tasks, resources, budgets and timelines.. I also use Project Management Software for my business, because your projects are important to the development of your company, it’s vital that you have a proper plan and people in place. A proper management software is very necessary.
