Gantt Scheduling in P4 Plan
P4 Plan supports Gantt scheduling for traditional project planning with timelines and task dependencies. Scheduled tasks live in the Planning section.
Key Concepts
- Scheduled task: A time-boxed item with start date, finish date, duration, and optional dependencies.
- Dependency types: End-to-Start (most common), Start-to-Start, End-to-End, Start-to-End.
- Percent complete: Progress tracking (0-100). Setting to 100 auto-completes.
- Estimated days: Effort estimate (can differ from calendar duration).
- Planning items include ScheduledTask, Sprint, and Release types.
