“Why are project management tools so bad?”

That’s the question Adrian Neumeyer kept asking himself for years in the trenches as an industrial project manager.

Talking about resource planning and budgeting in particular, the tools were a far cry from what one actually needs to oversee projects in real-life. Painfully complex and making things harder — not easier.

He kept hearing the same thing while running TacticalProjectManager.com: the tools suck. People were wrestling with clunky spreadsheets to create resource plans — they’d given up looking for a better solution.

Adrian decided: There has to be a better way.

He began sharing his ideas for a new tool with other leaders. The feedback was overwhelmingly positive, and his Excel prototypes became the go-to resource planning tool for thousands of team leads and project managers. Things started to line up: This is what a good resource planning tool needed to look like.

Adrian teamed up with a group of developers to build TeamBandit: A versatile and powerful resource planning tool that would take just 5 minutes to get started with. No wading through tutorial videos. No endless configuration.

Today, teams around the globe rely on TeamBandit to plan their resources with confidence—from engineering firms and digital agencies to architects, consultants, and utility providers.

Customers benefit from greater visibility into capacity, helping them plan ahead and avoid last-minute surprises. They also report a rise in accountability, as team members are more likely to stay within their estimates when they can see what they’ve committed to.
