This would be great: * Resource loading, availability, tasks summary, personal task completion reports.. * Maintain history of task time, cost, resource, as assigned by tasks, and resources completing their tasks. * Templates of tasks, or projects where if you say have completed a common project that have tasks you do (as if your a consultant with various clients with similar projects you can pull a gant, resource lo…
Wow, really appreciate the detailed list here. Some of the reporting, history, dashboards, templates, etc. that you mention is covered now but Dart probably isn't quite ready to solve some of your more advanced needs. It's all pretty aligned with our vision in the long run though. We're particularly excited about all of the ideas around resource tracking and allocation--we'll get there! Very curious to hear how it wo…
I never kept a good portfolio of my own accomplishments, and it would have really helped me as an independent consultant.
I've seen so many smaller consultancies who are quite capable get "out marketed" by bigger consultancies - To have a running, ongoing portfolio - that you dont have to have another resource (pm/graphics/web/copy person... you can have a more compelling portfolio highlighting your success in the project AS YOU GO - so that when you choose to put a completed project on your /about-us - you arent doing anything from memory.... if resources or *PMs* leave your org - they dont take the value of their contribution alone in their head so you cant highlight the success of that part of your company history from memory
Departments can have their automatically weekly/monthly progress/success/issues/updates status reports which is an extremely aggregating and tedious thing to do - the easiest way to stress out a teams productivity is if they have to spend an inord amt of time attempting to craft a status report through having all sub PMs/leads/whomever also having to attempt to recall WTF they did...
Allow a resource to give a voice update and have AI pull that into a salient status update.
Have pictures taken of [issue] (punch lists) and have them described by the subs/whomever -- and then just say "electrical closet 4100 has no firestop, conduit is in wrong place" -- and it updates issues, reports, status and notifies whomever is required (the issue shows up on the LV subs todo with pics, a voice note - and all other associated reports are updated.
It can even be used to create "launch/go-live announcements" -- When we were building out tons of Salesforce floors - we were commissioning then handing off each floor to each depts that occupied those floors as we moved forward. Then it keeps track of progress, but also track open issues and resolutions... so even after hand-off there are so many little punch items that need doing - and sometimes the corp IT/facilities guys have to deal with too many people to address/report/assign and track outstanding punches.
This can also be used to track overall quality of work - and you can have a portfolio of subs across projects/sites/states and say which vendors are performant/in budget etc...
Basically an LLM for your entire program.
[These were feedback I basically gave PlanGrid (YC) when they launched... as I was already CFO/CIO deep in these issues... They got acquired by Autodesk.
You should be acquired/integrate/compete with them...???
Or, since they didnt follow my inputs - take me on as a temp PM and compete. :-)

I know that this is initially internal dev-project focus... but all these apply same to large scale construction programs.
+ portfolio and succesful project reports with successful metrics for the build could be an additional service fee that an agency could charge/include in their proposals :DELIVERABLES: X shall provide as included in this RFP a complete project timeline of services, outcomes and XYZ from project that OWNER may use in their own success stories...
etc....
