Concept: Project Plans
You can use project plans to organize projects into phases and tasks:
- Project plan phases organize and sequence each stage of the project work. Example: Plan and Strategize.
- Project plan tasks define the work details in each project phase. Example: Define Project Objectives.
Project plans enable you to:
- Assign resources to project plan tasks.
- Monitor project timelines.
- Set date ranges for workers to log their time on a project.
- Specify project risks.
- Streamline data entry by creating templates.
Types of Project Plans
You can create 2 types of project plans:
- Standard
- Multilevel
Standard project plans have a flat structure, with the project plan phases all at the
same level. Example:
- Project Plan Phase 1
- Task a
- Task b
- Project Plan Phase 2
- Task c
- Task d
Multilevel project plans have a tree structure. You can add up to 9 project plan phases
under each top-level parent phase. Multilevel project plans can include more details
about your project work, improve organization, and increase the granularity of your
custom reports. Example:
- Parent Project Plan Phase 1
- Task a
- Child Project Plan Phase 1.1
- Task b
- Child Project Plan Phase 1.2
- Grandchild Project Plan Phase 1.2.1
- Task c
- Parent Project Plan Phase 2
- Task d
