Programs are a way to group like projects or CBS shells together (or projects and shells in combination). Programs allow consolidation of financial, schedule and status data across projects or shells. They are created at the company level in Admin mode. An administrator typically grants permissions to other project or shell team members who will modify an existing program and generate specific project or shell data. For example, a project or shell team member may modify a program to produce high-level forecasting data or to generate program reports based on a project's cost, schedule, and status data.
Although the Company Administrator creates the program, rights are typically granted to project or shell members who will then modify the existing program and generate specific project or shell data.
For example, a project or shell team member may modify a program to produce high-level forecasting data or to generate program reports based on the project cost, schedule and status data for one project or shell or across several projects or shells.
