Project Management User Criteria An effective Project Management support tool should address, at the minimum, three critical elements of a Project Plan; the Proposed Project Plan's Development, the negotiated Project Plan's Execution, and the resulting activities, milestones and the Objectives of the Projects Stakeholder's. The understanding of how the Workflow in PMPlan may help the user, should also be considered before developing a Project Plan. Understanding the above criteria should improve the user decision process! PMPlan© The Standard stand-alone version, is AlNik Solutions original project management application that is fully integrated, using an ‘MS SQL Server Express’ database, and is used in many circumstances as an EVM Lite tool for those projects not requiring a fully mandated EVM capability. PMPlan Standard will handle 1,000 resources within 5,000 work elements for a plan period of up-to 10 years. PMPlanLT© Is a very limited version of the PMPlan Standard version. It will handle 15 resources within 100 work elements for a plan period of up-to 1 year. PMPlanLT has very limited EVM capability. PMPlanLT would be used for very small business purposes or for student applications. PMPlanPro© Is a significant upgrade to the PMPlan suite of tools in that it can be used as a stand-alone application, similar to PMPlan Standard, using a ‘SQL Server Express’ database, or it may be used in an Enterprise mode concurrently with other users as an additional user seat on a server based ‘MS SQL Server’ database platform. PMPlan Pro can be structured to be able to check-out an Enterprise project file from the server, work with the plan or negotiate with a client off-site, and then return the revised/negotiated project plan to the Enterprise server. PMPlanPro handles 5,000 resources within 32,000 work elements for a plan period of up-to 10 years (+/-, limited only by the amount of installed memory, and in some cases 32 bit vs. 64 bit processing). PMPlan Enterprise© Tool Suite PMPlan Enterprise is the project management tool that is used concurrently with other users on a server based ‘MS SQL Server’ database platform. PMPlan Enterprise can also be used on a local or server based ‘MS SQL Server Express’ database platform with some user limitations. PMPlan Enterprise meets the Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA) standards, and other Government standards for those projects requiring a fully mandated pricing support and EVM capability. Used concurrently with other users on a server based ‘MS SQL Server’ database platform, PMPlan Enterprise will handle 5,000 resources within 32,000 work elements for a plan period of up-to 10 years (+/-,  and limited only by the amount of installed memory, and in some cases 32 bit vs. 64 bit processing).
