Events
What is it?
Events are meetings, calls, scrum ceremonies, agile ceremonies etc.
Those are being applied to the timelines of the people required to be present at the events. In case of an offtime the system will automatically skip the person who is off.
Event is a time sensitive block. It can not be moved by other features but it can shift and split others. Only in case of colliding to an offtime the event will not do anything to the timeline.
Unique insights and benefits
Naturally intertwined with items in your timeline. E.g. tasks, offtime, spikes and more.
Events can have a big influence on timelines and budget. Having all time control over it is essential.
When you have an event shown in the timelines you can see how much it affects the delivery dates and deadlines, allowing you to use time more effectively.
Events are one of our time sensitive blocks. It works by locking designated interval in your timeline. It can not be splitted but it can shift and/or split other blocks(all except offtime).
We recommend using events with financial forecast to see how much an event costs you.
Examples
Imagine a situation where you have a meeting with 10 of your workers each being paid $20 per hour. An hour of meeting will cost you $200 as well push everybody's timeline by one hour. The event will show you those numbers clearly so that you can selectively pick the required participants only and get the maximum benefit out of it.
Let’s picture this. You are having 3 hour long meetings with your team every day for a week. At the end of the week you are standing in front of problems such as delays. Almost every member of the team is having a hard time delivering the task on time. By using the events feature you can acknowledge the situation. Now you will have everything under control. We recommend using the feature with financial forecast to see how much an event costs you.
