About Schedule Manager

Schedules allow you to plan and track a project from inception to completion. Effective use of Schedule Manager ensures that your project is completed on time, within budget, and meets the requirements of the project stakeholders. Each schedule can contain subschedules, schedule tasks, and milestones, and all work on the schedule is assignable to schedule members.

How you work on schedules in Active Workspace depends on your role. The common roles involved with schedule management, and the actions they typically perform:

• The schedule coordinator creates the schedules, adds members and tasks, assigns the tasks to team members, and updates the schedule properties.
• Team members assigned to the schedule track their assigned tasks and update the work on the tasks as it's completed.
• The administrator configures the Schedule Manager features and enables integration with Microsoft Project.
