So far, we’ve created a couple of organizations
, a portfolio
, and a project
inside the portfolio. We’ve also described all those elements, each in a different way.
Another thing you have to set is the start date of the project, which is available in the Settings
section of the project page, in the Earliest Start
field. The project will start in this date or later – It will be later only if the project has a predecessor. We’ll talk about dependencies later.
All dates are entered like this:
- 2021-6 – means the first half of June, 2021
- 2021-6½ – means the second half of June, 2021
As you can guess, our unit of duration is half-months
(sometimes shortened to hm
). It’s intentionally kept like this, to keep the plans high-level and avoid excessive details.
But wait, how would you enter ½?! Well, when typing, you can enter 2021-6m or 2021-6h (m for ‘mid’ and h for half), and they will automatically become 2021-6½.
