TABLE OF CONTENTS Budgets
The Budget hours or quantities and costs of resources are automatically recorded in the Budget field of each resource as the resource is assigned to an activity.
Targets
A Target Schedule is a complete schedule against which your progress and performance is measured. Setting the Target schedule is covered in the TRACKING PROGRESS chapter.
Target dates may be viewed by the following methods:
Display the Target start and finish date columns
Display the Target Bar in the bars chart area or
Display the Dates form from View, Activity Detail, Dates.
There are two distinct processes when statusing a schedule:
Statusing the dates then
Statusing the resources, costs and quantities.
There are relationships between resources and the percent complete that may be created or broken and are governed by Autocost Rules. These rules must be understood to successfully status a resourced schedule. They are not easy to comprehend but these rules are a feature that makes P3 a good scheduling tool.
