Prepare a project schedule using a planning tool

This fact sheet lists and provides answers to the questions that planners who want to use a computerized tool to plan a project are bound to ask themselves.

In fact, before starting to plan a project, we can ask ourselves :

• tool input data ;

• the selection of a simple and complete planning tool ;

• desired project representations (vision by installation, sub-project, etc.) ;

• Schedules to be defined ;

• any necessary extractions from the schedule (extraction to an Excel file to create physical progress curves or time/time curves, .csv file for dialogue with SAP, etc.);

• the different possible displays of the schedule (for the customer, partners, subcontractors) ;

• graphic layout (what you want to highlight graphically).
