Understanding schedule updates

During the execution of the program schedule, there may be delays to the completion of specific tasks. Some tasks, even if completed on time, may not provide expected results. Sometimes, a task may be marked as complete without fulfilling the complete scope of work. To handle these situations, you may have to update the program schedule or change the sequence of the tasks. You may have to add new recovery tasks.

As a program manager, you can add new WBS elements in the program WBS to handle failed tasks. These WBS elements can then be estimated and approved. You can send the updated program WBS to the external schedule to update the network diagram and generate the updated schedule. The new schedule information is sent back to Teamcenter for pricing and EVMS baseline updates. All these tasks can be performed without affecting the already in-work tasks.
