Documentation
Definition
Key which determines the planning method for the forecast dates in the project. Thsi planning method only refers to the WBS and not to activities:
- In Top Down Planning you plan the dates starting from the top WBS element in the hierarchy. The dates that you maintain in the subordinate WBS elements must lie within the dates periods of the superior WBS elements.
- In Bottom Up Planning you plan the dates starting from the subordinate WBS elements. The start and finish dates of the subordinate WBS elements are then passed on upwards (independent from one another), if they do not lie within the planning period of the superior WBS elements.
- In Strict Bottom Up Planning you specify that the dates of subordinate WBS elements determine the dates of the superior elements. If you have already entered dates for the superior WBS elements, the system deletes them, and calculates new dates based on the dates of the subordinate WBS elements.
- In Free Planning you plan the dates without hierarchical dependencies.
