MicrosoftHi Nancy! It's great to see how the planner has evolved. Any thoughts on cost management in P4W?
MicrosoftThanks for the question RaulSoares! Could you tell me about what you're looking for with cost management in premium plans? e.g. any specific scenarios where you'd find this useful, and what workarounds do you use currently?
Nancy, Well, I'm one of the biggest advocates of P4W because I see it as a natural evolution in project management, and it has indeed become much better to use. However, I really miss the ability to add hourly rates for resources or the total budget amount and have it displayed in the planner's main view.
At the moment, I'm using Microsoft Excel to track project costs. But if we could somehow manage project costs directly in P4W, similar to how it works in the desktop version or something close to that it would be amazing.
One example would be: if a resource costs $50 per hour, P4W could automatically calculate the total cost based on the allocated hours in the schedule, and this view could be available as an option, just like the grid view, timeline view, etc.
Having this feature available would be really valuable for us.
