About this task

To create a program:

Procedure

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
