SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR A CONTROL BASED PROJECT SCHEDULING MODE

Abstract:

Systems and methods may include a cloud computing system configured to execute instructions to generate a planning console accessible from an instance provided on a client network, wherein the planning console includes a semi-automated scheduling mode and a project with a plurality of project tasks that include a predecessor task with a planned timing, and wherein executing the instructions includes determining at least one dependency relationship between the predecessor task and at least one successor task, identifying a timing difference between the planned timing and an actual timing of the predecessor task, and generating an one or more user-selectable interaction points, in the semi-automated scheduling mode, to automatically update the project such that the at least one successor task is modified based on the actual timing of the at least one predecessor task and interaction with a second interaction point causes the project to remain the same.
