Basic tasks using Schedule Manager

You use Schedule Manager to perform the following tasks:

• Create a schedule using the New Schedule wizard
• Baselining schedules
  • Methods for adding a task
  • Create a milestone
  • Set a task baseline
• Assigning resources to a schedule
  • Assign a resource to a task
• Defining calendars

Sites use Schedule Manager to create schedules for a project. Schedules contain tasks that describe work for the project, time constraints, and resources. At various points in the schedule, the schedule coordinator can take a snapshot (baseline) of the schedule and add milestones.

Each schedule has an associated calendar where work days (and hours), holidays, and vacations (on a per-user basis) can be tracked.
