Project Planner

Now in Version 10, any project in a Synthesis repository can be associated with a Project Plan. You can use the Project Planner to create, edit or view the plan in any Synthesis desktop application except MPC. If the Synthesis Enterprise Portal (SEP) has been implemented for an enterprise database, you can also access a streamlined view of the plan from any web-enabled device. The planner provides extensive project planning and management capabilities, including the ability to create timelines, evaluate progress, track resource usage and estimate costs.

What's New? The Project Planner is an enhanced version of the DFR Planner in Xfmea/RCM++ 9. In Version 9, the tool was dedicated to planning and managing a design for reliability (DFR) process. The new planner can be used to manage any project or process.

To open the planner from within any open project, choose Project > Management > Project Planner.

In a secure database, any user with “read” access to the project will be able to view the plan (and update any actions that are assigned to them). However, only users with the “Create/edit project plans” permission will be able to create or edit the plan.
