Before a project becomes a Work Breakdown Structure, a Gantt or a bill, it is a header — an owner, a customer, a type, dates, a budget and a priority. Fast Project Management Software gives every project that home, then tracks the whole portfolio across Active, On Hold, Completed and Inactive tabs, so you always know what is running, what is parked and what is done.
A project is the header for everything that follows — its WBS of tasks, its Gantt schedule, its Bill of Resources and its bills. It starts here, in the project master.
Creating a project is one screen, not a folder of files. The project header carries a code and name, a description, the project owner and priority, the customer it is for, a project type, start and finish dates and a budget. Edit any of it as the job evolves, and open the project view to see the whole thing — its tasks, dates and budget-versus-actual — in one place. It is the single record every other module hangs off.
The portfolio lists your projects in tabbed grids — Projects (Active / Inactive / On Hold) and Completed — each bound by the project's status. A new project starts under Active; when work pauses you put it On Hold; when every task is done you mark it Completed; and if it is shelved it becomes Inactive. The status and status date drive the move, so the tab a project sits in is never out of date with where it actually stands.
Project types are a simple maintained catalogue — a code and a name — that classify every project, for example engineer-to-order, fabrication, EPC or service. Typing a project keeps the portfolio consistent and lets you group, filter and report across projects of the same kind, so a fabrication job sits alongside other fabrication jobs and an EPC package alongside other EPC packages when you look at cost, duration and on-time finish.
A project header holds both a planned budget and an actual budget, and both a planned finish and an actual finish. As the tasks consume material, labour and machine through their per-task Bill of Resources, the actuals fill in against the plan — so the project view shows estimated-versus-actual cost and on-time-versus-late finish. Progress percentage rolls up from the tasks, and Dhruv AI answers plain-English questions across the portfolio.
Create, edit and view a project from one workspace, with its code, name, description, owner, customer, type, dates and budget.
Active, On Hold, Completed and Inactive grids driven by project status, so the portfolio always reflects where each project stands.
A maintained catalogue that classifies every project — ETO, fabrication, EPC, service — for consistent grouping and reporting.
Every project names its owner, the customer it is for and a priority against the rest of the portfolio.
A planned budget and a live progress percentage that rolls up from the WBS tasks as the project is executed.
Planned budget and finish held against actual budget and actual finish, so cost and schedule variance are visible on every project.
A portfolio run on a shared sheet loses status, budget and history. Here is what a real project master changes. New to project systems? Read what is project management software?
The project master is the header record for every project you deliver. Each project carries a code and name, its owner, the customer it is for, a project type, start and finish dates, a budget, a priority and a live progress percentage. You create, edit and view projects from one place, and every project is the single home for its WBS of tasks, its schedule, its resources and its billing before it is broken down.
The project listing shows your portfolio in tabbed grids — Projects (Active / Inactive / On Hold) and Completed — each bound by the project's status. A new project appears under Active; put it On Hold and it moves to that tab; finish every task and set it Completed and it moves again; shelve it and it becomes Inactive. The status and status date drive the move, so the tab a project sits in always reflects where it really stands.
A project header carries its code, name and description, the project owner and priority, the customer, the project type, start and finish dates, the budget, the actual finish date, the actual budget, the progress percentage, and the current status with its status date. Those fields make each project self-describing — who owns it, who it is for, when it should finish and what it should cost — before any task is added.
Project types are a simple maintained catalogue — a code and a name — used to classify every project, for example engineer-to-order, fabrication, EPC or service. Typing a project keeps the portfolio consistent and lets you group, filter and report across projects of the same kind, so a fabrication job and an EPC package are comparable within their own class.

Every project header holds both a planned budget and an actual budget, and both a planned finish date and an actual finish date. As tasks consume material, labour and machine through the per-task Bill of Resources, the actuals fill in against the plan, so the project view shows estimated-versus-actual cost and on-time-versus-late finish for the whole portfolio — cloud or on-premise, across India and worldwide.
