Tasks, task groups and milestones are shown in easy-to-read
lists. Progress, start and end dates are instantly visible, amongst
other useful information.
Gannt Visualisation
As in most project management tools, Foresight features a Gannt
chart that displays the relative start times, durations and
relationship between tasks and milestones. The Gannt chart in
Foresight is shown as relative from the start date, counting the
number of working days. It shows the ideal execution of the
project.
Depend on Me
Tasks are rarely completely independent, with most relying on
other tasks being complete first. You can define these
relationships by drawing connections between the tasks while in the
Gannt chart view. Foresight will then use this information to
restrict when tasks can be scheduled, and identify when an
unfulfilled dependency means that a task may not be able to start
on time.
Tasks and Task Groups
In traditional project management, a task can stand by itself or
contain subtasks. A lone task behaves differently to one that
contains subtasks, so we have chosen to separate them into tasks
and task groups. The normal 100% rule still applies
A task is defined as more than just a description and a
duration. The skills necessary to accomplish a task can be
specified, and Foresight will ensure that only resources with the
required skill levels will be assigned.
