Overview

Three incremental tutorials will allow you to discover the PlanningForce tools and features interactively. These tutorials are available from the Welcome Startup screen. Once you click on a tutorial, it opens both a PDF file with the tutorial and, in PlanningForce, the example file that illustrates the explanations in the tutorial.
You can print the tutorials for easier reading...

    

Tutorial 1

• The purpose of Tutorial 1 is to let you discover the main concepts, terms and workflows that will allow you, in a second phase, to create your own First Simulation.
• You will discover:
  1. What a plan and a simulation are
  2. What a project is
  3. What resources are
  4. How to launch the scheduling process
  5. How the results are displayed
  6. How to make changes
  7. How to compare simulations
  

Tutorial 2

• In this second tutorial, we have enriched data (projects and resources) to obtain a first realistic plan.
• You will discover:
  1. What a calendar is and how to use it
  2. What a coefficient is and how to use it
  3. What a skill is and how to use it
  4. How to include / reject / impose resources
  5. How to exploit useful tools
  6. How to define constraints and goals
  7. How to analyze results
  8. How to optimize your planning
  9. How to select the current plan

Tutorial 3

• In the third tutorial, we have continued to enrich data (projects and resources) and we have encoded successive progress statuses and new plans to obtain a first Project Life Cycle.
• You will discover:
  1. How to use costs and incomes and determine cash-flows
  2. How to use advanced coefficients
  3. What role and skill levels are and how to use them
  4. How to impose a resource exclusively to a task
  5. What progress status is
  6. What successive plans are
  7. What plan tracker is
  8. What portfolio progress is
