To get the best experience from this program, it is best to understand its intended use. While this program is equipped with scheduling functionality, it is primarily designed for use during the execution phases of a project rather than the early stages of schedule optimization. As such, it does not contain features for complex scheduling operations like resource leveling or customized work hours. Unlike scheduling calculators like Microsoft Project that are constantly shifting schedule dates with limited control by the project manager, the start and finish dates in PM Excelerator are designed to be highly controllable by the project manager. During execution, start and finish dates are more sensitive to the available of the resources working on them then they are to their scheduling dependencies and are not always easily shifted just because a dependency finishes early or late.

The primary goal of this program is to provide project management with a comprehensive view of a project beyond the current schedule. This includes recording your comments and notes about the status of deliverables, recording progress on issues, tracking changes to the project scope and schedule, and providing status reports for easy reporting. This information is critical to truly understanding the state of your project so you can make more informed decisions to keep project execution on track.
