What's wrong with Primavera P6?

Primavera P6 has long been a popular choice for planning and tracking, known for its ability to map out critical paths and manage complex schedules. However, its outputs often result in lengthy and intricate Gantt charts spread over many pages, which can be difficult for decision-makers to quickly digest and act upon.

Why Mastt?

In contrast, Mastt was co-founded by Jamie Cerexhe & Doug Vincent in 2019. With Doug being a former Project & Program Management consultant, Mastt aims to simplify schedule reporting.

Mastt allows you to either build your own simple schedule directly in the platform or easily upload your existing Primavera P6 file. Unlike the complex, lengthy outputs often associated with Primavera P6, Mastt delivers a clean, easy-to-digest set of visualizations.

These intuitive reports make it easier for decision-makers to quickly grasp project status and critical milestones, enabling faster, more informed decisions without getting lost in unnecessary details.
