Schedule Planning

Use the Schedule tab on the Plan form in the Projects hub to view and edit the start and finish dates for the work breakdown structure (WBS) elements for the selected project. The Schedule tab displays only if the Resource Planning module is activated.

The Schedule tab displays project schedule information on the left and a Gantt chart on the right. Along with the scheduled dates, the Gantt chart displays bars that represent the project's WBS elements, making it easy for you track progress and identify potential schedule risks.

On the Schedule tab, you can use the Gantt chart to do the following:

  • Change task durations and shift dates. If you have project modification rights, you can move the Gantt bars on the chart to change the durations of WBS elements or shift the start and end dates without changing the durations. As you move the bars, updated Plan Start and Plan End dates display on the left grid and on all planning grids for the project. If the selected element impacts any parent or child levels, those dates also update.
  • Export the chart to use in proposals and contracts. Vantagepoint supports the following file types: PDF, PNG, Excel, iCal, Microsoft Project.
