Information

  • This module provides an overview of all master milestones and milestones of the selected project and of its subprojects (if available).
  • It is possible to define one of the project (of the main project in the case of structured projects) master milestones displayed here as a main milestone.
    • Main milestones are used as reference points for the interval calculation of the master milestones to the other master milestones.

Details

  • Summary tasks (phases), milestones, and master milestones are displayed graphically as a bar chart and master milestones are additionally displayed as gates on a horizontal axis directly below the time scale.
  • On each master milestone symbol, the WBS code of the master milestone and the time interval to the main milestone date are specified (in weeks).
  • The calculated duration (Calc. start to Calc. end) of the projects will be visualized
    • by a dotted frame on main project level
    • by a bar in the color of the project code on subproject level.

Note

  • If the module is opened from a subproject, the associated main project is displayed along with it.

Gates

gate without delay
gate with delay
main gate/main milestone

A gate is a master milestone of the planning objects.
Without date delay means: Total float >= 0
With delay means: Total float < 0

Gates are only displayed in the Schedule module if the Schedule with gates checkbox has been activated in the Project Core Data module in the core data module of the respective planning object

Tasks are defined as master milestones in the Schedule module.
Calculated dates of the summary tasks
A summary task is a task in the structured schedule consisting of sub-tasks which are summarized here. Information on the summary task, such as duration and dates, is determined automatically from the sub-tasks.
