Anticipate obstacles:
See how rescheduling one activity affects the predecessor and successor activities in the Trace Logic window of PERT. As you encounter project delays or resource shortages, SureTrak automatically displays the downstream effects on the rest of the project, and most importantly, on the critical path.
Send it in writing:
Print out what you see on-screen as a report or save as HTML format. Choose from over 40 industrial-strength reports, or create your own. Emphasize deadlines, communicate priorities or clarify responsibilities by embellishing with graphics, vivid colors and attention getting fonts.
Send it faster:
Get the latest priorities and schedule changes to your team members quickly using e-mail. Freely distribute Primavera's easy-to-use Primavera Post Office to project team members. They'll see their assignments and update their work, indicating when activities started and how much work remains. When project updates are received, audit them for accuracy, approve them and automatically merge them into the schedule - without any dual entry.

Aimed at those who won't put up with limits in their project management software, Primavera SureTrak 3.0 provides an excellent all-around package for getting control of time, resources, and budget. With excellent built-in Web and collaborative capabilities, this is a program that can simplify any busy manager's life.
To get started, SureTrak 3.0 bundles the KickStart tool, which lets even those new to project management software get going productively. In testing, this wizard asked us a series of questions about project phases, goals, people, potential obstacles, and the like, with extensive help from a built-in library of sample entries for many different industries. (If you have been using Microsoft Project, SureTrak supports importing and exporting to .MPJ files, which is another way to start.)
SureTrak features extensive support for the two traditional views for tracking a project: Gantt charts, which show a time line of various tasks, and PERT charts, which show logically connected diagrams of tasks along with dependencies. We liked the support for distributing a variety of reports over the Web using HTML. The product also allows managers to e-mail reports to other team members, plus you can add hyperlinks to any report or view.
Another notable feature included here is the ability to define custom resources (for instance, costs per employee, based on skill sets and project roles), "activity codes," and even specialized calendars. The control over costs in SureTrak is certainly one of the product's strengths. You can track every cost associated with a project and see exactly where you are with your budget at any point within the project cycle.
Finally, at a time when most printed manuals are being downsized in favor of online help, we appreciated the SureTrak's 500 pages of tutorials and documentation. Overall, Primavera's product delivers a well-thought-out project management package, one that can be used effectively by beginner and expert alike to track even large projects effectively. --Richard Dragan

this scheduling software can do anything you need it to do. it's not simple enough to use, though, without having either studied the users manual in depth or taken a college course on the software. i have take a course on the software so it works great for me.
Rating: - Good for Time lines.
I like this product. I am in commercial construction and use this product to schedule jobs . I would buy this product again.
Rating: - SureTrak Project Manager software
I have used this product for several years, and it has become my favorite for use in planning engineer/procure/construct projects. This product compares each task's percent complete to the current date to establish early start and finish dates, and adjusts dependent tasks accordingly. That feature immediately eliminates false float until late tasks or all tasks have been updated correctly. The built-in filters and reports are excellent. The improved PERT interface is helpful when establishing overall ... Read More
Rating: - Best single-user PM software bar none
SureTrak was designed with features that practicing project managers need, not glitzy fluff. Although the two previous reviewers have made strong cases for SureTrak there are a few details that I'd like to add.
(1) Multiple calendars - you can have up to 31 base calanders per project, giving you absolute control that is not possible with other PM applications in this price range. This feature allows you to model different resource baselines, which is powerful. Also, unlike MS Project, SureTrak ... Read More
Rating: - Professional Tool for Professional PMs
If you are planning, scheduling and controlling projects in accordance with the process laid out by Project Management Institute's Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) then you will appreciate this program's power and features.
The features that align to the PMBOK are: easy planning using a work breakdown structure, correct computations for earned value and resource leveling that works properly.
Features that I particularly like are: direct import of data into an Excel pivot table ... Read More
