How to create your project's plan
Understand how to create a plan for a project
Create a plan for a project
In PSOhub, you can create a plan for a project directly from the project or choose from the menu Plans and Plans.
Create from a project
When creating a project directly in PSOhub you can select a plan template once you have chosen your contract template. If the plan template contains users and/or roles, you can determine whether to add them to the project team.
Note: That this will only be possible if there is a plan for that contract template.
Click Next and then Create to finish creating your project.
Next, navigate to the Tasks tab. You will now see all the tasks related to the plan previously selected, grouped under their respective task lists.
If you have created your project without pre-selecting a plan template, in your project, navigate to the Tasks tab. From here, you will also be able to create a Plan.
To create a task board from a template, click on Template and use the drop-down list to select the one you want ,then click Save.
PSOhub will now display the plan based on the template you selected.
If you do not have an existing plan template for this contract you can leverage the Add Task list button to build this plan. You can decide to replicate your contract lines as task lists and add a series of tasks and sub-tasks under them or you can decide to create a different structure of task lists - however in case you won't be able to book time towards the tasks as they need to be related to a contract line.
Note: When you want to create your task list based on the contract lines of your project, you first need to navigate to the Contract tab and check the box Add as task list (then click Save) for each contract line you wish to create as a task list.
When doing so, PSOhub will automatically create a task list for the contract line and display it as such in the Tasks tab. This feature is also the one to leverage when you add a new contract line to an existing project and want it to be included in your existing plan as a task list.
To view the plan in a "full" screen view you can hide the left and right panes by clicking the corresponding black arrows at the top of the screen (just below the main menu).
From here you can:
-
Add a task
-
Modify a task
-
Add a note and/or a document
-
Create milestones that can trigger an invoice upon completion.
Once you are done creating your tasks, you can move them around with the drag and drop functionality - within the same task list or across task lists within the plan.
