Seavus Project Viewer is a viewer for Microsoft Project files. It reads the native .mpp [3] file format created in any Microsoft Project versions. As a project management software, it is designed to assist users (team members, team leads, project stakeholder and other project participant) to review their project assignments, print the project information and follow the overall project status. The application software shows critical path schedules and critical chain which are visualized in a Gantt chart. As from March 2015, Seavus Project Viewer has approximately 5,700,000 users, including clients such as Marks & Spencer, European Central Bank, SAP AG, BMW, Chevron Corporation, Airbus and others.
