Marking Up the Schedule

Uncertainty

User assigned sections for markup and review can begin to provide feedback in the Markup view.

The My Markup Status confirmation box opens to show markup status information.

After the schedule is in the Markup view, contributors can begin to give feedback on the schedule. Markups made to increase or decrease durations on the schedule in turn generate uncertainty.

Uncertainty is an internal factor, such as quantity growth or productivity loss or gain. It evaluates duration or cost realism and plan confidence.

Scorecard Values

The scorecard provides a quick and easy way to give an estimate of whether the planned durations need to be increased or decreased. Selecting a percentage increases or decreases the duration by that amount.

As markups are made on the scorecard, the bars on the Gantt chart adjust accordingly. This gives project contributors a live view of how the schedule is impacted by their markups.
