Schedule projects
Scheduling projects involves managing timelines and dates. Using the Scheduler, you can create projects and tasks, quickly determine the risk of schedule slips, overlaps, and dependencies, and visualize project obligations as you plan.

Schedule resources
Project management involves gaining oversight over your team's work commitments and availability, and ensuring that teams are not over-committed or under-resourced ahead of time. Using the Scheduler, you can schedule resources to ensure you have adequate capacity to complete planned projects.
