Company Info

PlanHammer is a product of Global VPM LLC, a privately held computer software and IT services company based in Minneapolis, MN, USA. It was founded in 2015 when the founder, a PM consultant, needed to solve conflicts between agile task assignment and traditional project scheduling. Since there was no existing tool to allow both Kanban style boards and Gantt chart tasks, he decided to create a project tool that can perfectly combine classical and agile project management tools. The company’s mission is to integrate project planning into the team’s everyday activities. By enabling people to break down high level objectives into manageable pieces, a project plan becomes a living document that is flexible enough to meet changes. PlanHammer is currently in public beta.
