together to achieve benefits that might not be available when the
projects are managed individually.
Before you begin
To create a program, you must have the JazzProjectAdmins or
the JazzAdmins repository permission.
Use the Overview and the Schedule
Gantt viewlets to perform this task. In the navigation bar, click Work,

About this task
To create a program:
Procedure
- Ensure the WBS Overview viewlet is available in your view.
From the WBS tree, click Create Program.
Note: The Create Program button is disabled
if you do not have the security permission to create a program.
- Enter the program name. In the viewlet, click Save. The default start and finish dates are the current date,
and the effort is 0 hours. After you add child projects to a program,
the program dates, duration, and effort are rolled up from the child
projects. The program start date is the start date of the earliest
child projects, the program finish date is the finish date of the
latest child projects, and the program duration is the difference
between the program start and finish date. The program effort is aggregated
from the effort of the child projects.
