🔎 Workplanning & Resource Planning Setup Structure
Workplanning: Implementation Plan
An Implementation Plan is a detailed work plan for a Project, usually corresponding to a specific time period or category of activities for the project.
The Implementation Plan record stores details about the work plan (description, timeline, etc.) and then specific Activities can be created (on the Activity object) and linked to the Implementation Plan. Implementation Plans can also be created for Frameworks.
Workplanning: Activities
An Activity is a set task performed under an Implementation Plan. The Activity record contains all the details of the activity, including start & end dates and percent completion.
Activities can be nested under each other in a parent-child hierarchy. They can also be linked to specific Project Objectives, Project Indicators, and Financial line items within a Project Budget. They can be assigned to Contacts directly through the Contact lookup field or through the Activity Assignment object.
Resource Planning: Positions, Roles, & Assignments COMING SOON
Roles store the details about the types of responsibilities that needs to be done through the course of a project. For example, an organization might have a role for “Water Specialist” in their system.
Positions allow organizations to track available or required positions that need to be filled to complete specific project activities. For example, the “Water Specialist for the Kenya Water Management Project”.
Essentially, a Position is an “instance” of a Role that is filled by a specific person (Contact).
Assignments are used to affiliate Positions or Roles with Activities, essentially showing the Positions/Roles that are necessary to successfully implement the Activity.
Resouce Planning: Goods, Services, & Procurement Requirements COMING SOON
A catalog of Goods or Services can be created needed to carry out Activities. The Good/Service record contains details like expected cost, preferred procurement method, and more.
These Good/Services can be requested, planned, or tracked for Activities using Procurement Requirement(s). Thus the Procurement Requirement object affiliates Goods/Services with Activities, essentially showing the goods or services required to successfully implement project activities. The Procurement Requirement record include details to track the quantity required, due date, actual cost etc.
