It's mother was a rotary whiteboard w/ scanner / printer. It's father was a plotter. And it's godfather was a Project Planning Calendar (GANTT Chart).
By now, I imagine most of us have seen those rotary whiteboards with scan / print capacities, mostly used in corporate boardrooms for making copies
of meeting notes.
This product is a step up from that, and includes an eraseable marker-plotter on the hidden side, so that when the device is placed in the appropriate mode with the chosen project planning format, it can continuously write in the incoming months, weeks, days, etc. as the year progresses. Last month's scheduling activities rotate out of view and are erased by the built-in board cleaner, as the new months are printed.
Naturally, the scanner / plotter function can save and reproduce scanned images from past meetings onto the board or on A4 paper, is Microsoft Project (and competitor software) compatible, and comes with a variety of built-in project planning calendar layouts.
Alternatively, a large LCD display may be used instead of a whiteboard and plotter. But for some reason the dry-erase board appeals to me more, from a cost / functionality / technological intimidation standpoint.
Includes a Halfbaked Calendar Easter Egg.
