How to Schedule Projects using Open Workbench

There are several scheduling techniques you can use to schedule your projects using Open Workbench. The scheduling process involves the following steps:

1. Determine one of the following:
   • The minimum length of time required to complete each task (task duration)
   • The resource usage on each task (used to automatically determine durations)
2. Determine the ETC for each resource.
3. Determine each task's resource loading pattern from one of the available loading patterns. A Loading Pattern defines how work is spread across the duation of a task. A resource's loading pattern defines how resource assignments are used to complete tasks when you recalcuate task duration and autoschedule your project. There are five patterns available to best help replicate how team members work on tasks.
4. Autoschedule the project.
