Data takeover

MS Project Integration
into Linetrack

Linetrack takes over existing schedules from MS Project - with tasks, durations and dependencies - straight into the plan. Migrating the legacy schedule is already built and runs with no development needed.

Linetrack project management software with a data takeover from MS Project

In short

The MS Project import takes over existing schedules with tasks, durations and dependencies straight into Linetrack - a one-off data takeover that is already built and runs with no development needed. Among the more than 400 planning tools replaced at Linetrack customers so far were MS Project plans migrated this way instead of being re-entered.

Challenge

Why legacy MS Project plans would otherwise need retyping

Years of schedules sit in MS Project - with tasks, durations and dependencies that would otherwise have to be re-entered by hand during a system change. Doing that delays the rollout until there is capacity for it.

At Linetrack that import is a standard feature, not a special project - the migrated schedule is available straight away for scheduling and capacity planning.

The same logic applies where planning ran in Excel instead of MS Project - see the Excel integrationpage for details.

Migration instead of re-entry

Anyone who would otherwise have to retype schedules from MS Project ends up delaying the rollout. At Linetrack that import is a standard feature, not a special project.

Tasks, durations and dependencies are available for further planning straight after the takeover.
