Generating a Cost-Benefit Curve
/The constraint change doesn't work when data is filtered. It works though when unfiltered, then select several rows of data, but it is a bit inconvenient to do that rather than filter."
Read MoreCopying Objectives to Other Models
/I want to create a top-level model, then copy those objectives to other models (sheets) within the same file. The other models may have additional objectives as well as the "main" objectives.

Read MoreModeling using decisionAccelerator
/
We’ll focus on the modeling functions of decisionAccelerator in this screencast. decisionAccelerator is a decision modeling methodology and tool that enables groups to reach agreement faster and more effectively. It is based on Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and is implemented by lateralworks as an add-in to Microsoft Excel, a ubiquitous engine that many already use for various business applications. This choice reduces the learning curve and the need for expensive software.

This screencast provides a basic overview of the decision-modeling framework used by decisionAccelerator.
Read MoreIntroduction to Decision Analysis (1)
/
Introduction to decision analysis; is a basic discussion of the decision modeling framework we use to engage decision stakeholders and accelerate many different types of group decisions. There are three types of decisions we model with this process, these include Yes/No decisions, choosing among alternatives, and prioritizing multiple alternatives.

Read MoreTouchpoints, Checkpoints and Deliverables
/We are often asked, what the difference between a Touchpoint, a Checkpoint and a Deliverable.
Read MoreResource Leveling
/Once a resource pool has been built and resources assigned to tasks, the next step is to analyze the schedule for overallocation. Where overallocation exists, it is necessary to level the resources in order to reduce the overallocation.

A new feature introduced in fastProject 4.7.3 and above is a simplified window function at the end of the Update to review the changes to each of the targets as a result of the Update.
Read MoreDynamic Status Changes
/
A new feature introduced in fastProject 4.7.3 is a dynamic status indicator in the Inspector. As the schedule changes, this information is updated in real-time. So after an Update, you can very quickly see:
