Having everyone working in the same way allowed us to tap into our international member firm network and quickly mobilize remote support because we could see in our Dayshape overview exactly how much additional capacity we needed and for how long.”

"With an existing team of over 40 resource managers, we had the expertise but not the advanced resource management solution. We needed to move away from multiple disparate systems in order to effectively scale and drive real strategic impact. With Dayshape, I believe we are better positioned to achieve this."

"Initially, we believed a team-managed process offered more flexibility. However, it soon became clear, especially with LBMC's vast growth, that this approach didn't optimize our resource allocation. Dayshape's solution gives us the best of both: agility combined with a centralized system for enhanced decision-making."

FAQs

Browse our frequently asked questions for quick, helpful answers about Dayshape.

What is a Gantt chart?

Named after American mechanical engineer and management consultant Henry Gantt, Gantt charts are a visual tool used to schedule projects, manage resources, and monitor productivity. Often taking the form of a spreadsheet, a Gantt chart scheduler displays tasks as horizontal bars, providing a visual representation of task start and end dates to help resource managers plan, coordinate, and track tasks, supporting efficient project management.

Who can benefit from Gantt chart scheduling software?

Stakeholders at different organizational touchpoints can benefit from Gantt scheduling software. Staff can use the Gantt scheduler to see their allocated tasks, view deadlines, and update the wider team on their progress. Project management and resource planning teams can utilize Gantt scheduling software to plan projects and monitor their progress, keeping track of multiple teams and workflows. Meanwhile, business leadership teams can access the software to ensure projects align with overall company objectives and goals, and to make sure projects are being delivered on time, without any resource being overworked

What’s the difference between an Excel Gantt chart and Gantt chart scheduling software?

Excel-based Gantt charts are spreadsheets created manually to support project management. This can be a time-consuming process, and often leaves little room for flexibility, preventing a team from being truly agile. Gantt chart scheduling tools are much more agile, incorporating automated - often AI-powered - features that enable real-time collaboration and reactive adjustments to deliver true project flexibility. Gantt scheduling software can also integrate with other project management tools to create a seamless system for monitoring resource allocation, time tracking, and project management in one place.
