Creating a Project and Importing a Baseline schedule

The first step to uploading schedules is to create a project and import a baseline schedule

 

Before you upload your baseline schedule, you need to add a new project to smart PM. It is best to use the earliest schedule you have because the more data the better. You can reset the baseline later on if necessary.  

 

In the Company Dashboard click “Add New Project”.
