Scenario mode
To find the optimal version of your plan, you have to consider multiple factors, such as risks and delays, as well as pay close attention to the availability and workload of your resources.
With the Scenarios feature, you can easily try out different variants of your plan, compare the results, and find the best one.
Plan work with scenarios
You can create two scenarios per Box:
One public scenario
One private scenario
Note: BigPicture Enterprise allows you to have an unlimited number of scenarios.

Select Create new scenario
