Aurora is user-friendlyĪurora’s graphical user interface enables users to enter domain-specific scheduling knowledge and requirements quickly and easily.
PRIMAVERA P3 DISPLAY PROBLEMS SOFTWARE
Aurora provides many capabilities not available in other Project Management software such as Microsoft Project and Primavera P3 / P6 or other finite capacity scheduling software. This is especially important in domains where there are a range of resource requirements. By focusing on resource requirements and temporal scheduling in combination Aurora considers these different scheduling aspects in combination. In addition to allowing rapid, easy schedule development Aurora addresses issues overlooked by many scheduling systems.
Aurora’s built-in and user-supplied decision rules produce better schedules by considering these attributes at key scheduling decision points such as determining which task to schedule next, assigning the best time and resources to each task to optimize the overall schedule, and handling situations in which some resources are not available when the task is scheduled. Aurora encodes attributes of individual tasks, groups of tasks, resources, resource sets, and constraints.
Aurora solves complex problems more effectively by encoding and applying sophisticated scheduling knowledge and decision-making rules, along with complex constraints and resource requirements. Often, these schedules are far from optimal. Most systems use simple rules to select and schedule activities and assign resources to carry them out. Aurora is not only more efficient but also provides many capabilities not available in other project management software such as Microsoft Project and Primavera P3 / P6 (see unique capabilities below). In a study conducted by the Boeing company, Aurora managed resources more efficiently than software developed and updated by Boeing for almost two decades, that was specifically designed for their application. When compared to Primavera, Aurora reduced turnaround time by 20%. Compared to Microsoft Project, Aurora’s schedules were 30% shorter. Aurora outperforms conventional software solutionsĪurora outperforms conventional software because it uses artificial intelligence technologies to encode and apply extensive scheduling knowledge and rules to perform automatic resource scheduling. Over the last 25 years, an increasing number of organizations have chosen Aurora to manage operations more efficiently than any other system it has ever been compared to, and for Project Portfolio Management (PPM) Aurora has proven vastly more powerful than any other solution including Microsoft Project and Primavera P6 (see customer testimonials). Aurora is particularly effective when applied to large projects with complex constraints and resource requirements.
It was originally developed to help NASA tackle difficult, mission-critical scheduling problems with complex constraints by incorporating the judgment and experience of expert human schedulers. Aurora™ is the world’s leading intelligent planning and scheduling software solution that utilizes advanced artificial intelligence.
