workstation ag STARTS SHIPPING PROJECT MANAGEMENT TOOL W-PLAN
for NEXTSTEP

Glattbrugg, Switzerland, November 1, 1993 -- One weeks after
announcing the terminal emulation family, workstation ag today
started to ship the powerful project management tool W-Plan for
NEXTSTEP on Intel 486/Pentium and NeXT computers.

W-Plan is a handy window-based project management system which
permits to plan rapidly from most simple to most complex projects.
The central chart displays the project's schedule (PERT
representation) where the project's tasks and the tasks'
dependencies can be graphically defined with the mouse.

W-Plan of course provides all the typical project management
system's standard features as resources and resources' calendars
definition, automatic leveling, hierarchical project's
structuration, actual versus planned data, budget and timing
analysis. An interactive mouse-driven resource leveling was also
developed to let the user solve the resources' conflicts in a
rapid, optimal, precise and straightforward way.

Through making a great use of mouse interaction with the graphism,
special care was taken to offer the user a comfortable, flexible
and intuitive interface to define, display and modify his data.

Finally the chart views and customized reports accessing all
W-Plan's data fields can be printed with a minimum of time and
project's information, making W-Plan a practical and powerful tool
for managers.
