This can be particularly important in production planning, for example. The project plan is calculated using automatic scheduling and considering available resources. This prevents overloading of resources and avoids scheduling external resources. The duration of individual tasks may be extended, for instance, due to non-working days, causing tasks to be rescheduled.
