Introduction to Flow Generative Scheduling
Connect to Flow Production Tracking to use existing production schedule data, create scheduling scenarios, and quickly refine those scenarios before applying them to your projects.
Course overview
Project scope, deadlines, and resource availability are all constraints that impact a schedule. These constraints often change throughout a project's lifecycle and production teams need to be capable of making swift adjustments to keep their projects moving forward. Flow Generative Scheduling is a tool that simplifies the iteration process of production schedule.
After completion, you should be able to:
- Get started with Flow Generative Scheduling.
- Manage playgrounds.
- Navigate playgrounds.
- Generate and refine a schedule.
- Send a schedule to Flow Production Tracking.
Before you start
- Please ensure you have access to a Flow Production Tracking site.
- If you have technical difficulties, please reach out to product support.
