Description
This application offers a unique approach to project management, which represents your project not just as a plan, but as a coordinated mechanism moving towards the goal.
The original technique allows you to break down project objectives into smaller goals, processes and resources, but not get lost in the details, but always see the overall structure of the project as a whole. After all, project management is not a mechanical observance of the plan, but the achievement of project goals, which should not be overlooked.
The application combines the classic project approach based on Gantt charts and project management through workflow diagrams. As a rule, Gantt charts are ideal for presenting project schedules, but they are not so convenient for reflecting the complex structure of the relationship between processes, goals and resources.
More formally, the program allows you to build a customized, based on the BPMN notation, PERT diagram of the project (with events and processes at nodes). Then this description of the project is used to generate a Gantt chart and track the progress of the project.
So, inShort is a powerful project and business process management tool, which can be applied not only in office but also for personal purposes. You can further explore the capabilities of the program with the detailed interactive User Guide.
Key features of the application:
• Building the diagram of processes and resources of the project (PERT network diagram of the project, based on BPMN notation).
• The ability to drill down the elements of workflow diagrams.
• Tracking the execution of the project.
• Integration with the standard Calendar.
• Displaying the list of project tasks in the form of a Gantt chart.
• Separation of physical and information flows of the project.
• Ability to specify the expected time of execution, both directly and parametrically.
• Export of charts into PDF files and OPML outlines.
• Project management according to the methodology of the Theory of Constraints.
• Working calendars taking into account various schedules of work for implementation of tasks.
• Work resources and their assignment to tasks.
• Queues of tasks: organize the work with active tasks in accordance with the elements of the GTD methodology.
• Checklists for diagrams — monitor the sequence of actions for project management step by step.
Advanced features of project management in accordance with the Theory of Constraints technique:
• finding the critical path;
• positioning of time buffers of the project;
• calculation of buffer sizes;
• calculation of late starts for feeding paths of the project;
• tracking of time indicators during project execution.

Ratings and Reviews
Great mind tool!
I thought 'impressive Icon' may have been on the money as when first opening this app it kinda freaks you out with error messages for a couple of minutes, then it crashed a few times, BUT... Once settled it hasn't missed a beat and works perfectly!
To anyone looking for this type of app, this one is a ballbiter! It has limitless uses for both private and work s
Fantastic app
I’ve tried other apps/tools and none provided the ease and visibility that inShort does. Highly recommend!!!
Best app I have bought so far
No kidding..this thing maps out my goals and simplifies processes and so far is the best app I have bought so far in terms of how frequently I use this app but also how I've organized complex tasks into logical orders and have a nice printout on paper to match.
Of all the apps ive bought this one has paid for itself many times over. I no longer use my ithoughts mindmapping app as this one lays out the process simply even getting those "a'ha" moments how problems with work and life can be rolled out and put into play....I looked around for an app that does process diagrams and this one is brilliant. Initially confused I got to understand it and so far so good! I've used this app to map out the flow of work, accounts process and decision making within my work. I can use for home tasks also.. I can use this as an instructional tool for my virtual staff whereby the diagrams can be pdf'd and emailed...This was a program that I came back to many times but at the price was reluctant and no reviews. I was at two minds to buy... I can say if you have doubts just go for it, I'm writing this review as I think this app deserves one. This is good also for complex diagrams Thanks developer ...good app! Good colors and nice crisp lines to link everything and stable ...
Recent upgrade includes gantt mapping
