Planning in Project

The Project Planning Parameters (tppss0100s000) session enables you to set parameters for the project planning such as the default project plan and details that relate to the External Scheduling.

These sessions can be used to define and maintain plans:

• Plans (tppss0110m000): You can use this session to set up new plans or to modify the existing plans.
• Copy Plans (tppss0211m000): You can use this session to copy the details from an existing plan to a new plan.
• Delete Plans (tppss0210m000): You can use this session to delete a plan or a range of plans.
• Print Plans (tppss0410m000): You can use this session to print plans in a summary or detailed format.

The information specified for each plan includes details of the top activity linked to the plan, the name of the planner who initiates the plan, and the planned start and finish dates.

The active plan is visible in the Projects (tppdm6100m000) session. There can be only one active plan in a project. To freeze a budget (control budget), the plan must be Active.

An active plan can be used to:

• Create baselines
• Maintain the project progress
• Order requirements
