Schedule Tab

Schedule Tab

View your schedule in calendar form in the Schedule tab. Customize the view by switching between “projects” mode and “categories” mode or by filtering your calendar view based on task owner, status, alerts, or a specific time frame (e.g. week, months). You can tell which filters are active because they are highlighted orange.

The colored schedule bars indicate the time period that a task or project will be worked on. The gradient block within the schedule bar represents the range of possible completion dates, with the “E” marking the expected completion date. Hover your mouse over this gradient to see the date range in text format. The end of the schedule bar shows when you can be 98% confident the task will be completed.

LiquidPlanner builds your project schedule based on the order of your projects and the order of tasks within those projects.

The highest project in the list will be scheduled first, the lowest project will be scheduled last. The highest ordered task in a project will be scheduled first, the lowest ordered task will be scheduled last. Drag and drop projects and tasks to modify their place in the schedule.

Hints for Scheduling in LiquidPlanner

An owner can only have one task assigned to them each day (unless the task duration is less than one day), and a task cannot be assigned to more than one person. Break down tasks into the smallest possible pieces to further reduce uncertainty.
