Having trouble in maintaining the right work balance among your project members? Deskera Project Management allows you to strike a perfect balance by identifying resource conflicts (i.e. multiple tasks allocated to a single resource at a given point of time) and easily resolving them.

With Deskera Project Management, you can easily manage resource conflicts in two simple steps. Here is how it works.

Step 1:

Monitor the tasks for each resource in the ‘Resource Conflict’ window displayed on clicking the ‘Resource Conflict’ icon in your ‘Project Plan’. All tasks having conflict with other tasks are highlighted in red color. You can click on the task to view the list of tasks assigned to the resource at the same time.

Step 2:

Click on ‘Resolve’ button to view the ‘Resolve Conflict’ window. Resolve the resource conflicts by either assigning the task to another resource or by changing the task schedule.

‘User Specific Tasks’ in Deskera Project Management allows you to easily define access and permission levels for the tasks assigned to each Project Member. These permission levels can be defined by the corresponding Project Administrator. The administrator can easily configure the display of the Project Plan for each Project Member.

Project Administrator can configure the following permission levels for each Project Member

1. Modify Project Plan: The Project Member has access to the complete Project Plan. He can view/edit tasks in the Project Plan similar to the Project Administrator.
2. View Project Plan: The Project Member can view the complete Project Plan but does not have access to modify the Project Plan.
3. Modify Assigned Tasks: The Project Member can only view the tasks assigned to him/her in the Project Plan. Other tasks in the Project Plan cannot be viewed by the Project Member.

Basecamp is one of the most popular light-weight project management tools, and with good reason. But many enterprise users are looking for more powerful project planning and collaboration tools.

As a result, we’ve seen plenty of users who’ve migrated from Microsoft Project and Basecamp to Deskera, looking for a complete solution that meets both their needs of project planning and collaboration.

Deskera already supports import and export of project plans from Microsoft Project. Looking at the sheer number of Basecamp users who wish to migrate to Deskera, we thought it was time to roll out an ‘Import from Basecamp’ feature.

We wish we could bring in your documents as well, but sadly, Basecamp does not support this. As of now, Basecamp does not support importing of project information from any other tool either.

For more details on ‘How to import projects from Basecamp’ you can head over to our support forum. We look forward to hearing your thoughts on this.

• Import existing plans from Microsoft Project
• Sync Deskera calendars to Microsoft Outlook and others using iCal
• Export Deskera project plans to Microsoft Project

• E-mail Notifications for tasks and to-dos
