Day 3
- Revision of workshop learnings
- Creation and allocation of resources
- Simple graphical outputs as resource bar chart, resource graph, S-curve or
resource matrix
- Archiving of the actual plan as 'scheduled'
- Variance analysis for different planning situations by the function 'Project Comparison'
- Producing an update (progress reporting)
- Variance analysis of the update as compared to the original planning schedule
- Dealing with incompatibilities, accelerations
- Creation of variance analysis reports (Bottleneck-barchart)
- Final backup
