Phases can be added when creating new projects, but they can also be modified afterward. This article provides steps for adding or deleting phases to existing projects as well as steps for modifying phase dates. Roles can also be added to a project using phase dates.
Add or Delete Phases on Existing Projects
With a project in context, you can add or delete phases under the Dates tab.
Phases can also be viewed under the Project Gantt by hovering your mouse pointer over the project bar.
Edit Phase Dates
When modifying existing phase dates, click Save and an edit window will open outlining all of the potential impacts:
You can decide how to handle changes to the project, phase, and role dates.
Phase Date Edited
- The impacted phase and tentative change will be presented at the top of the edit window.
Project Date Changes
- Use the checkbox to determine how the project duration will be impacted.
Impacted Phases
- The other phases on the project can be shifted to align with the updated phase or left as is.
- Sub-phases are not displayed but can be impacted by the change to phases.
Impacted Roles
- Confirm which roles are impacted by the change.
- Roles can be left with the current dates or extended/shifted accordingly to align with the updates.
