How can I add Autoscheduling to Plans?

[Kristine Gemici]

For some reason we currently do not have an option for autoscheduling in Plans. How can I add this? Could you please send screenshots? Also, can you please confirm that once autoscheduling is included that I will be able to easily add dependencies for line items and if one date is shifted the other dependency will also shift?

Hi Kristine,

Have you followed this guidance?

Or take a look at this article by @Trudy Claspill

Thanks for sharing this doc.. after reading this in more detail, maybe autoscheduling is not what I need. Basically what I am trying to do is to replicate the Microsoft Project function where you can assign dependencies between tasks. Once you have assigned dates and then dependencies, then if for some reason a task is delayed, the tasks tied to it will also be pushed out. Is this what autoscheduler can do or is there some other option to accomplish this?
