Scheduling a Burn Down Project
A project can have activities scheduled and completed before a burn down begins. This gives users the flexibility to begin the project burn down on the date specified in the sys_workdown_date UDF rather than the Project Start Date.
In a Burn Down project, the initial snapshot of the project's activities and assignments is taken the day before the date entered in the sys_workdown_date UDF. This snapshot is used as a baseline to compare against actual values. For example, the Baseline Remaining Units Burned can be compared to the Remaining Units Burned. The STARETL process must be run one day before the sys_workdown_date (or the Project Start Date if this UDF is not used) to capture this initial snapshot.
