Plans (v8.xx)

The Plan (Gantt chart) is used to organize tasks, deliverables and assignments. The project leader uses the Genius Planner Gantt chart tool to create the WBS and assign resources to the tasks. Once the plan is ready, the project leader saves the plan which pushes the planned data to the participants.


                  Upload tasks and deliverables into a plan

It is possible to upload tasks and deliverables that were manually created outside of a plan, into the project plan after the fact. The following rules apply:

If a phase does not already exist in the plan, it is created at the beginning of the plan, and the tasks and deliverable are uploaded into the phase.

If a phase already exists in the plan, then the tasks and deliverables are uploaded into the phase above any already existing tasks and deliverables.

For more information see "The Plan and the Gantt chart" the following chapter.
