Time phasing lets you take for example, forecasting, and break it down into more consumable, estimate related time blocks or periods.
Forecasting
Time-phasing your forecast gives you more visibility into what activities and costs are going to occur in smaller time periods.
-
Forecasting — Set the Forecasting toggle to On to enable time-phase forecasting to spread forecast remaining values into the project’s fiscal periods.
-
Push Time phased forecast to Live forecast — Set the Push Time phased forecast to Live forecast toggle to On to update the live forecast in the CBS with the modified values in time-phased forecasting.
-
Commitments — Set the Commitments toggle to On to spread committed remaining cost and uncommitted remaining cost values into the project’s fiscal periods.
In Project details you can see the start and end dates which define the earliest and latest project periods.
