Chronolog was designed and built by a web development firm
to address some of the problems that all software development
teams face. We couldn't waste valuable management time reworking
schedules to accommodate every small change, and we needed to
view capacity months in advance to gauge our sales efforts. Most
importantly, we needed truly reasonable project plans to ensure
we'd never miss a deadline. We built Chronolog to plan projects
with built-in time flexibility and global reports. We liked the
results so much that we decided to offer the service to the public!
Centralize scheduling information
Chronolog puts everyone's project work, meetings, and vacations
all in one place. No more printouts or emails of new schedules
every week! And since it's web based, your team members can
access their information from any networked computer.
Avoid unrealistically detailed schedules
Nobody can predict development times exactly; some tasks
will take a little more time, and some a little less. While
most scheduling tools make you pin down each task and then
readjust for every change, Chronolog lets you schedule work
across a range of time, so that natural variations can simply
cancel each other out.
Manage available time
Multitasking is the rule for most development teams, and
it can be hard for the manager of one project to keep track
of resource needs for all the other projects. Chronolog shows
how much time each team member still has available in a week,
so any project manager can find the time they need at a glance.

Warn you about risky deadlines
When used in conjunction with Macroscope™
Budget Manager, Chronolog will calculate how much time remains on a
task and compare that to its due date. It then shows
the results for each event on the calendar views, and
compiles the results for all upcoming events into a report,
which managers can use to see trouble spots at a glance.

Show company capacity months in advance
Your sales team needs to keep steady work coming in, without
overbooking your team, and should be able to give prospective
clients a reasonable expectation of delivery times. Chronolog
compiles everyone's available time into a single capacity
report so you can schedule incoming work appropriately.
