## Meisterplan Reviews
  ### 1. Streamlined Resource Management, Worth the Initial Learning Curve

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Jack N. | Director of Project Solutions and Delivery, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 28, 2025

**What do you like best about Meisterplan?**

For a small team managing a lot of projects and resources, this has been extremely useful and made it very easy to see when, where and how we are using our resources. We were able to immediately populate the tool with our list of projects and resources. It took some time to consider how we want to allocate resources working on multiple projects, but once we settled on a practice for the team to follow, we were all able to get in there daily to keep things up to date in one tool instead of 3 different places.

**What do you dislike about Meisterplan?**

If you are short on time, the learning curve can take a while. But finding time to make use of it is worth it in the long run, and crawl-to-walk doesn't take as long as we initially thought. Now we are running.

**What problems is Meisterplan solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We had all of our resources and projects on magnets on a whiteboard, and that's how we managed our month to month allocations. Now we are using Meisterplan for that and also to keep our project status notes.

  ### 2. Rating Meisterplan

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Bob A. | Project Manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 16, 2025

**What do you like best about Meisterplan?**

WM SBS is currently using Meisterplan for resource allocation which is working well for SBS. Soon will be using the status report creation feature to create weekly status reports from Meisterplan as well. SBS finds these features to be easy to use. Customer support from Debbie Summerville has definitely helped us upskill our use of the tool and its functionality.

**What do you dislike about Meisterplan?**

There is definitely a learning curve to using Meisterplan as overall PPM tool. The right hand navigation tool is not very easy to use at times.

**What problems is Meisterplan solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The tool has been extremely helpful in planning SBS's resource allocation for 2026 planning purposes. Prior to 2026 planning and SBS using Meisterplan much of the end of year planning was manual in nature using Excel tools.

  ### 3. Great Partnership, But Needs Better Portfolio Analytics

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Consulting | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 06, 2025

**What do you like best about Meisterplan?**

It's the partnership and their willingness to listen to our business-specific needs.

**What do you dislike about Meisterplan?**

Inability to export a change log. I don't have the time to go project to project in MP, or sometimes even get into MP, to see what's been changed and I already have an external dashboard that I use to monitor the portfolio. I can't do basic portfolio analytics like project lifecycles, days in a certain status, etc. and dissect that info by client or project type. Those are important PMO-level metrics that I don't have.

The other thing that I know you're working on now is to have project specific rates for each resource. We manage huge client engagements that oftentimes have multiple rate cards depending on the business segment we're engaged with. Some of our resources are on several projects, but with different rates for each project. I want the ability to do financial forecasting alongside resource forecasting so that can be communicated back to the client.

**What problems is Meisterplan solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Please contact Achim Gnan and have him pull up all of the feature requests I've submitted that you have released features in support of those requests. You have been great partners in meeting our needs with so many of your releases. I'm very grateful!

  ### 4. Practical Resource Planning with Meisterplan in a Hybrid Portfolio

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Manufacturing | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 25, 2025

**What do you like best about Meisterplan?**

- Scenario planning makes it easier to compare options before making decisions.
- Power BI integration helps create useful reports and dashboards.
- It supports planning across Agile, Lean Product Development, and Traditional methods.

**What do you dislike about Meisterplan?**

- Keeping Jira in sync for story points and other details takes extra effort.
- Unused projects can create clutter and need manual cleanup.

**What problems is Meisterplan solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Meisterplan gives better visibility into shared resources and priorities. It helps align work with goals and improves planning across different execution methodologies. It is not perfect, but it provides a practical way to manage complex portfolios.

  ### 5. Easy to use and implement

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Construction | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 28, 2025

**What do you like best about Meisterplan?**

When we first launched (2019/2020), we were up and running from an excel file to MP in less than a week. User interface is simple, easy to understand. Customizable fields can be created to reflect your business. Its ability to allow users and resources to access information in real time, allows for a variety of access and use. Customer support is responding with solutions within a day.

**What do you dislike about Meisterplan?**

Integrating with other platforms can be tricky. Documenting terms and definitions of Project fields and selections for training / reference / API has to be done outside Meisterplan. It does not allow for export or import of Project field background information used to set up projects.

**What problems is Meisterplan solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We use Meisterplan for organizing and tracking our Projects, Portfolio and Resources. It has allowed us to standardize terms/definitions for various elements within the variety of Projects we operate. Allowing reporting to be more unified and correct.

  ### 6. Perfect solution for our needs

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Consulting | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 08, 2025

**What do you like best about Meisterplan?**

We are able to visualize the allocation of our consulting workforce on existing clients and prospective client opportunities.

We are able to forecast our revenue.

It is the core system we use in our weekly management and staffing meetings. 

It is easy to use.

Our Meisterplan Customer Success liaison was very proactive and interested in seeing us maximize the value that we got out of Meisterplan.

**What do you dislike about Meisterplan?**

We need a more granular resource skillset tracking and identification tool. For example, if we need to identify a consultant who will be available in June, who is a Sr. .Net backend developer, a minimum of mid-level React front-end skills, has good mentoring skills to work with two junior developers, and is able to be onsite at the client 3 days per week.  We were not able to capture list level of detail within MeisterPlan.

**What problems is Meisterplan solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We have 100 consultants that are working on dozens of active client and we have dozens of prospective clients that we need to determine how we will staff their projects.  This is an ever-changing "staffing puzzle".  Meisterplan gives us visibility to the consultants allocations and availability.

  ### 7. Intuitive Portfolio Planning That Scales with You

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Monika N. | Director, Sourcing &amp; Procurement , Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 22, 2025

**What do you like best about Meisterplan?**

No setup hassle – cloud-based and ready to go in minutes

Drag-and-drop simplicity for complex project portfolios

Seamless Excel import

Improved planning accuracy and client communication

Great visibility for resource allocation and revenue forecasting

Core tool in weekly management and staffing meetings

**What do you dislike about Meisterplan?**

We would like a dedicated app or feature that allows our consultants to easily view which projects they are assigned to.

**What problems is Meisterplan solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Meisterplan replaces manual spreadsheets with a centralized platform for portfolio and resource planning. It helps us forecast capacity, align projects with business goals, and communicate plans clearly across teams—leading to better decision-making and fewer planning errors.

  ### 8. Five stars

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Non-Profit Organization Management | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 26, 2024

**What do you like best about Meisterplan?**

Best project portfolio management application I've used in 30+ year career.  Keeping project management isolated from portfolio management has been a benefit to us rather than using a full PM/PfM/PPM application; the flexibility in letting diverse business units keep their project management practices that work best for their teams and workflows  while bringing together top-down planning is a good balance for our organization.

**What do you dislike about Meisterplan?**

Not much down side.  I've led F100 PMO teams that were responsible for portfolio and project management tools and processes, including MS Project, Asana,  Clarity PPM and Planview.  WHile each tool has strengths, Meisterplan was quickest to onboard and least costly to maintain.  It is an elegant solution that permits our focus on portfolio and resource management,

**What problems is Meisterplan solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Meisterplan's strength is modeling and comparing various scenarios for schedule and resourcing; it does this better than any PPM tool I've used.  The project scoring functionality is flexible and IMO peerless. We can make far better-informed project selection, scheduling and pacing decisions and thereby improve the ROI on the projects we select and deliver.  We also can better manage WIP down to the individual person, improving emloyee satsfaction and retention.

  ### 9. Excellent software for managing resources & profitability!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Management Consulting | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 19, 2020

**What do you like best about Meisterplan?**

Visual tool that packs in a lot of information in a clear visual:  Project dates, resource loading and profitability, all at once.
Easy to see the effects of changes (drag an element and the system updates the rest)  
Easy to use!
Love the option to consider or exclude certain projects from the calculation, as well as the scenario- planning capacity.
Financials are time-related, so that you can match the inflows with dates or milestones.  Great for cash-flow management!

**What do you dislike about Meisterplan?**

Would benefit from some extra customization options (eg: keep milestones fixed once date is in the past, even if the project is prolonged, etc.)

**Recommendations to others considering Meisterplan:**

Don't expect to use for micro-management of individual tasks.
If you are looking to manage multiple project and resources, with an eye for profitability, this is by far the best software I have used!

**What problems is Meisterplan solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We are a small consulting business with many contractors, each with different schedules and availability and rates.  Meisterplan allowed us to make sure our projects were profitable and correctly staffed, and to make sure any change was correctly reflected in the other aspects of the projects.

  ### 10. Very nice fit!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Food & Beverages | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 28, 2020

**What do you like best about Meisterplan?**

It is a nice fit to help organise our overall portfolio management. Nice visualisation and  overall good layout. Easy to use.Good features. enjoy the data export features

**What do you dislike about Meisterplan?**

No real dislike just observations:
Can get expensive with named ressources metric for users. One foot in task management and one foot out ,i imagine intension for future release will clarify the direction they are taking with it.

**Recommendations to others considering Meisterplan:**

Give feedback

**What problems is Meisterplan solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Organisation of Portfolio. Can be a good communication and collaboration tool.

  ### 11. Meisterplan simplified our resource management

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Management Consulting | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 28, 2015

**What do you like best about Meisterplan?**

You always see the current allocation of your resources and with simple drag and drop you move projects and recognize the changes for your resources and financials. Great and intuitive user interface for easy project portfolio planning. Especially the inclusion of financials is great! Interfaces with other systems and tools are interesting option for high level of integration in our entire software landscape.

**What do you dislike about Meisterplan?**

 Planning of part-time resources could be improved

**Recommendations to others considering Meisterplan:**

Get in contact with the company and get a webdemo before using the demo version - best way to get to know the product! Ask for an Excel import of (part of) you current portfolio to play around with real data and see benefit for your organization - might cost a dollar or two, but is good value proof.

**What problems is Meisterplan solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We streamlined our complete resource management which saved us lots of planning hours and avoid misunderstandings, overallocation as well as underutilization of resources.

  ### 12. Project Portfolio management the way it has to be

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Avinash R. | Manager Systems Design & Development, Insurance, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 29, 2015

**What do you like best about Meisterplan?**

In the past I had to use large excel files with complicated formulas to plan next years portfolio and display/predict resource bottlenecks. After countless hours of fixing data and waiting for results to be calculated I'm now using Meisterplan to plan ahead. The best thing: It's fast and displays the impact of changes in the portfolio instantaneously. This leaves me able to focus on the actual problems and find new alternatives.



**What do you dislike about Meisterplan?**

There are times I feel the need to break projects down into more detailed structures, e.g. phases.

**What problems is Meisterplan solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It was tedious to capture all projects in my portfolio in one large excel file. Even after having done that, the excel file didn't allow me to create different scenarios and compare them.

  ### 13. Superb interactive Project Management and Portfolio & Ressource Management

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Holger D. | Geschäftsführer / CEO, Information Technology and Services, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 28, 2015

**What do you like best about Meisterplan?**

With Meisterplan we can setup individual attributes within the complete scope of data, join personalized analysis of project teams, budgets and portfolios. It is fully customizable and can be rightsized to our needs and requirements. According to other known project portfolio management solutions this is one of the big bulletpoints and USPs of Meisterplan.
	

**What do you dislike about Meisterplan?**

Some controls dont sometimes do what they should do and react a little bit sluggish, and please add some new color themes and attributes for some dashboards and diagrams.

**Recommendations to others considering Meisterplan:**

test and try it, online. Its great!

**What problems is Meisterplan solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Project Portfolio Management and agile business strategy within big software teams, multiproject management while implementing software and user processes in production and to overview agility, performance, budget, timelines and sustainability.

  ### 14. Best resource management solution

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Dr. Michael S. | Geschäftsführender Gesellschafter, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 30, 2015

**What do you like best about Meisterplan?**

We took Meisterplan for planning our consultants and external projects and found it quite helpful. It's so easy to assign resources to projects and to 	see what happens with their capacity. At the end we improved our planning accuracy and the communication with our customers.

**What do you dislike about Meisterplan?**

We are missing an application for our consultant where they can see for which projects they are booked

**What problems is Meisterplan solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Forecasting of resource and capacity demand. Improved customer offers with reliable implementation dates

  ### 15. Great SaaS Platform for Project Portfolio Management

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Financial Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 30, 2015

**What do you like best about Meisterplan?**

First, the product is really easy to provision online, no software to install. Just register and get started. I am very impressed with how easy and intuitive it is to manage even complex project portfolios - just drag and drop your resources, timelines, goals and dependencies. Also, the switch from Excel to Meisterplan is seamless as the software makes it very easy to import our existing planning spreadsheets.

**What do you dislike about Meisterplan?**

No major issues. I am using Meisterplan on Chrome on my desktop, which works great. If you need to use it on a small mobile device (Safari browser), it can be a bit tricky - the small device form factor isn't ideal for many SaaS apps. But it works great on my iPad.

**Recommendations to others considering Meisterplan:**

Start the free trial and use it for a few weeks with real-world data and scenarios to get a good sense for the capabilities.

**What problems is Meisterplan solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We need a central, intuitive platform for portfolio planning that can be accessed by the project and portfolio managers. No more spreadsheets and version management reduces errors and inconsistencies. Much better visibility into projects and how they align with business strategy.

  ### 16. Feedback after review

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 29, 2015

**What do you like best about Meisterplan?**

I signed up for the trial, went through the walk-thru and played with the system myself. It seems clear that:

(a) it would be very easy to load this tool up with a portfolio of projects with their labor demands (I fixate on the labor part, but I suppose the point is more generally about resources) and then I could use it to explain what we are planning to use all of our people on (and why we are going to have to make some tough decisions about what we take on when). I would just start with roles (not named individual contributors). This would be a simple way to get a lot of value within hours.

(b) this is a cool system that is nipping at the heels of full-on PPM systems. Check out the financials stuff and the goal-based portfolios.

**What do you dislike about Meisterplan?**

There was nothing I disliked. I'm sure they could do more to help me use this across the whole management team, but I haven't looked that closely at what they already have there.  

**What problems is Meisterplan solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I only looked at the trial, so no value has been realized!

  ### 17. Fast and easy resource and portfolio planning

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 27, 2015

**What do you like best about Meisterplan?**

As Saas solution Meisterplan is very easy to implement and use. The interactive planning and allocation of resources and project is really easy to use and saves a lot of time and efforts. 

**What do you dislike about Meisterplan?**

I would like to have more operational project management features like task planning. 

**Recommendations to others considering Meisterplan:**

Meisterplan uses a top-down approach to portfolio management. This requires a new thinking when you are a project manager.

**What problems is Meisterplan solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Resource allocation
Resource planning
Portfolio prioritization
Portfolio mangement

Meisterplan saves time and gives a really impressive view on all our projects and resources.

  ### 18. Intuitive Resource and Portfolio Planning

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 29, 2015

**What do you like best about Meisterplan?**

The intuitive user inrerface, providing easy and straightforward access and visilibity into what is typically a very complex issue -- Portfolio planning and optimization, portfolio analysis, resource capacity planning. Replaces complex Excel tables, pivots, reports, etc.

**What do you dislike about Meisterplan?**

A strong integrated project management / project planning functionality might make the solution a more complete PPM solution for the entire enterprise. This is currently addressed through strong interfaces to other PPM solutions.

**What problems is Meisterplan solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Do I have enough people for the planned projects? Where are the shortages? Would it be better to shift projects? How does my Portfolio develop over time? Replaces a multitude of complex Excel tables, pivots, reports, etc.

  ### 19. Great solution for business strategy alignment

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Juergen H. | Managing Director, Financial Services, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 28, 2015

For us it was difficult to find out which project is really aligned to our overall business goals. Meisterplan is the ideal solution to find the optimal way of prioritizing project in order of the impact of the business strategy.

**What do you dislike about Meisterplan?**

For us resource management is not so important.

**What problems is Meisterplan solving and how is that benefiting you?**

  ### 20. Trending product with good future outlook

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Internet | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 29, 2015

**What do you like best about Meisterplan?**

Simple UI where you can use only what you want.
At the same time very powerful feature set with full PERT planning and resource allocation. Advanced views on finding bottlenecks.
Great feature that you can identify projects as must have and plan accordingly.

**What do you dislike about Meisterplan?**

Great management of resource pools but often the real bottlenecks are the few key people in a company who can drive projects forward. It would be great to see a feature where I can allocate and track the allocation of the top 10 ppl.

**What problems is Meisterplan solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Managing a large corporate project portfolio.

  ### 21. Great solution for staffing and portfolio management

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Internet | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 29, 2015

For us as a software development company with and many parallel projects meisterplan is a great solution to keep resources allocated whilst keeping an overview of our project portfolio. And its very easy and intuitive to use, too. 

**What do you dislike about Meisterplan?**

The frequency of new features added to meisterplan is quite high. Thus it will be interesting to see whether it will be as intuitive and easy to use as it was in the beginning.

**Recommendations to others considering Meisterplan:**

Just try it - its very easy to test and thus evaluate

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

Until now we used Excel for resource planning. With Meisterplan it was so easy to import our existing excel planning that we could start with the solution in less than a day.

In this version we still need Excel. But we know that Meisterplan will solve this dependency in the next version.

**What problems is Meisterplan solving and how is that benefiting you?**

**Reviewed Date:** October 28, 2015

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 03, 2015

After a very short on boarding process we imported our own data and only a few moment laters we have seen where we have resource bottlenecks and overloads. That was impressive.

**What do you dislike about Meisterplan?**

We would like to have some more option for the daily planning of resources
