Planning a Project: working with the Gantt

Every project that is started in Fortes Change Cloud is based on a Project Model. Every project will therefore have some kind of basic or standard planning. That planning can be viewed and edited in the project Gantt. The project Gantt has three sub-tabs for planning time, costs and resources.
