Yes Open Plan has entry level Earned Value capability. Full blown Earned Value system, with another product called COBRA(fully integrates with Open Plan).
Sub-programmes % Complete Rolls up to summary levels as well! However, it is a bit tricky with Budget quantities (since usually they are detailed at the bottom and then rolled-up). However there is a workaround. You can save the initial budget quantities to a different field. So when you roll-up % complete you can compare against that static(planned summary budget quantity).
Yes Open plan is a multi-user / multi-project system.
I especially like the idea of these summary activity’s sub-programmes having a critical path.
It is important to know what is critical to the deliverable, but this may or may not be critical to the overall project. I can see many applications for this in my current work.
Does OP do Earned Value Analysis? it would be great if the sub-programme’s % complete automatically rolled up the the summary activity and could be applied to a budgeted quantity at this level.
