New features released (March 2019)

There is always something new being developed here at GriffinPlan. In this release, we have the following:

  • Ability to add programs and link projects to them, along with adding vendors and linking people to them (for contractors or temporary help)
  • Additional reporting features to group by program and vendor
  • Features to transition reporting periods from being in the future to being forecasted to having actuals available to finally being archived as prior periods.

A spreadsheet, but better, for your program budgets

Introducing GriffinPlan

GriffinPlan is intended to provide smart IT resource management and budgeting.
