• Key Concepts: 
  Forward scheduling is a feature of the SRD-PRO PRO-Projects component of SAP software. It is used to plan and manage projects by creating a timeline of tasks and activities that need to be completed in order to achieve the desired outcome. The timeline is based on the estimated duration of each task and activity, as well as any dependencies between them. This allows for better planning and control of the project, as well as improved resource utilization. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Forward scheduling can be used to create a timeline for a project by entering the estimated duration of each task and activity, as well as any dependencies between them. Once the timeline is created, it can be used to monitor progress and make adjustments as needed. The timeline can also be used to identify potential risks or issues that may arise during the project. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a timeline with forward scheduling, it is important to ensure that all tasks and activities are accurately estimated in terms of duration and dependencies. This will help ensure that the timeline is accurate and up-to-date. Additionally, it is important to regularly review the timeline in order to identify any potential risks or issues that may arise during the project.
