The Project Lifecycle Schedule provides for the start and end dates for both baseline and actual / forecast project schedule. Select the Schedule sub-nav from the Time module.
The Project Schedule screen displays the overall Project Baseline dates and the Lifecycle Phase schedules.
For a new project with no schedule dates the Baseline fields are editable.
While the project has no detailed schedule dates, the overall project start and end dates are available for data entry / editing. When the detailed lifecycle phases are mapped the overall project schedule is drawn from the lifecycle phase details. Project start is the start date of the earliest Post-Award Lifecycle phase. Project end date is the end date of the last Post-Award lifecycle phase. The Post-Award phases are determined in the Methodology Project Lifecycle administration section.
Scheduling Dates
The dates in the create project screen are Baseline dates. As each phase represents a stage and requires a trigger to move one, dates cannot overlap. This is to support stage gate decision making.
The Pre-Award and Post-Award lifecycle phases are presented for data entry. The current Lifecycle Phase of the project is highlighted with the * character to the right of the phase name.
In this example the lifecycle dates have been populated. The current lifecycle phase of the project is noted by the asterisk as the Inspection phase. The lifecycle phases will vary depending on the UniPhi configuration.
Clicking the date cell displays a calendar to allow for date selection. You can also type in the date in dd/mm/yyyy format.
Once the calendar is open a date must be selected. To cancel, select any date which closes the calendar, and then delete or modify the date in the field.
