Webinar Description:
Project Management
With so many different software programs, websites, and mobile applications available for designing landscapes, it can often be overwhelming to prioritize software needs and select a cost-effective, functional solution.
For example, do you need a full-featured CAD (computer aided drafting) solution or can you achieve your design goals with a layer-based visualization application? How do the costs and features compare across multiple tool choices? This webinar walks through typical features provided by these tools, and recommends ways to prioritize your needs, compare costs, and find reliable sources for training and support. 
Learning Objectives:
1. Compare the functional capabilities provided by digital landscape design tools.
2. Use spreadsheet templates to prioritize features and compare costs for tool selection.
3. Find reliable on-line training and support sources for landscape design digital tools.
