To keep an up-to-date schedule
Before you create your projects, have your system administrator set up permissions and reminders as follows.
*
Set permissions so that only project owners can update Target dates.
*
Set reminders (Alerts) based on the Target dates.
*
Set reminders to be sent only to the owner or owners.
*
Optionally, set reminders on the Actual/Forecast dates to be sent to team members.
While you work with an up-to-date schedule, team members perform the following high-level steps.
1.
The owner sets the initial Target Start and End dates for each task.
2.
As the project progresses, team members update the Actual/Forecast dates with real data.
3.
If a task is delayed (the owner receives reminders that are based on Target dates), the owner assesses the situation and adjusts the Target dates and durations as necessary.
