At any one time, dozens of projects are underway. Each has its own deadlines, milestones, and budgets, and often the same people work on them.

Runn's Project Planner provides a bird's-eye view of all your projects and helps you understand their performance at a glance.

The blue project timeline shows the start and end dates of a project based on the start date of the first event and the end date of the last event on a project. An event can be an assignment, a phase or a milestone.

When you expand a project, you can view and edit the list of project team members and the scheduled assignments:

If your project has a budget, when you expand it, you will see a bar that indicates how it's tracking. As you create assignments and use up your budget, the bar will update automatically.

This is a great way to instantly see how your assignments are impacting your budget in terms of hours and dollars.

By default, you are viewing the current month's timeframe. The date of today is highlighted in blue:

Click on the dropdown menu on the top right to select a timeframe in the current view:

The options are:

Click on the arrow on the top right to navigate across the timeline:

Group By lets you view your projects on the planner based on their commonalities. The default grouping is All (no grouping, listing out all projects in the account).

The projects are grouped by Clients by default. Click on the grey arrow to open the drop-down menu to select other grouping options:

Options available under Group by:

If you are grouping by an attribute and would like to expand all the groupings at once, you can click this icon to expand or collapse all:

The Chart gives you an overview of the future workload (scheduled assignments) for your people, so you can plan ahead and notice if there are any resource gaps or overbooking.

In Runn, there are 3 types of charts for you to get visual forecasts of your people's time: Capacity, Availability, and Utilization.

The Tentative Toggle lets you include or exclude tentative projects on the Project Planner and when calculating availability or utilization in the Charts.

If you only want to include or exclude the workload of specific tentative projects for scenario planning purposes, you can customize which tentative projects to include or exclude. This is useful when you are doing scenario planning.

Different combinations of tentative projects let you see the impact of different scenarios. Runn recalculates your team's workload in the People Planner and Charts to help you determine how the new work will best fit within your team.

Sort By lets you reorder projects within a grouping. The list is sorted by Project Name by default. Click on the grey arrow to open the drop-down menu to select other sorting options:

The cogwheel icon lets you configure advanced display settings. Click on the icon to open or close the Projects Settings side panel:

Choose whether to group project team members inside a project by:

To view your project phases at all times on the Project Planner, even when the project is collapsed, click on the toggle and turn on Always Show Phases.

Choose how to display assignment units when you expand a project and view each person's assignments:

To add a person to a project, expand the project, then click Assign Person or Placeholder.

To quickly add one person, click the person's avatar to instantly add them to the project.

You can also use the star icon to denote your favorite project. When you star a project, the project is starred only in your view, not in other users' views.
