Definition

The following scheduling scenarios are avaialable :

  • Top-Down Scenario

    The scheduling dates are defined by top hierarchy elements, that is the project definition or the WBS elements, and limit the dates of the activities. The dates of the activities must lie within the basic dates of the WBS elements to which the activities are assigned. Similarly the basic dates of a WBS element must be within the basic dates of its superior WBS element.

  • Bottom-Up Scenario

    The dates are passed on from the bottom of the hieratrchy to the top, that is from the activities to the corresponding WBS elements and then up through the hierarchy to the project definition. The dates of the superior WBS element are checked to see whether they include the dates of the subordinate activity or WBS element. If this is not the case, the basic dates of the superior WBS element or project definition are changed correspondingly.

    If no activities or other WBS elements are assigned to a WBS element, the system uses the basic dates of the WBS elementa as scheduled dates.
