Project phases

Projects can be divided into any number of phases. Phases help structure planning and assess utilization per phase more clearly.

Prerequisite: project start and end must be defined before phases can be added.

Add project phases​

You can add phases when creating a new project or later in existing projects. Open the desired project – a window for editing the project data appears.

Guidelines:

  • Phases lie within the project start and end.
  • Phases must not overlap.
  • Choose a distinct color for each phase so the display stays clear.
  • Recommendation: define fixed standard colors (e.g., Phase A, Phase B, ...) to keep the display consistent.

Check utilization by project phase​

First capture all relevant bookings (employees and vacancies) on the project. Then you can check utilization per period in planr:

  • in the top line (utilization in the first line), or
  • in the utilization chart (week/month/year).
