Why Rillsoft Project fits into teaching

You want:

Teach and learn project management in a practical way

Present project work in a structured and comprehensible manner

Plan resources and capacities realistically

Rillsoft Project provides:

Schedule, resource and capacity planning for individual projects and in a multi-project environment

Cross-project capacity planning and early bottleneck detection

The best possible resource utilization

Rillsoft Project makes project management tangible in practice – from scheduling to resource planning and cross-project capacity planning.

Students learn not only to create plans, but to check their feasibility under limited resources. The Education version can be used without mandatory cloud and is therefore also suitable for teaching scenarios where digital sovereignty, local data storage and IT procurement criteria matter.

Digital sovereignty in project management education

Educational institutions teach not only how to operate software, but also digital competence: operating models, data flows, vendor dependencies and local IT requirements. Rillsoft Project can be used here as a practical example – as a Windows desktop application from a German vendor that brings together project management and digital sovereignty.

  • German software – Rillsoft is a German software vendor based in Leonberg.
  • Desktop instead of mandatory cloud – Rillsoft Project Education can be used without mandatory cloud.
  • Local project data – Project data can be kept in local project files; no telemetry or usage data is transmitted from project work.

What students learn with Rillsoft Project

Particularly suitable for fields of study such as project management, industrial engineering, mechanical engineering, civil engineering, computer science, production management, technology management and resource and capacity planning. The central planning client is Rillsoft Project.
