This information rolls up from the status of all the projects that are part of this program. | | State | Current state of the program.

Program form] {#t_CreateAProgram__table_mb3_rfw_1r} {#t_CreateAProgram__table_mqc_dqy_fdc__entry__2} | Field | Description | |-|-| | Planned start date | Intended program start date. If the start date of associated program tasks, projects, and demands is earlier than the program start date, the start date is adjusted to an earlier date. Removal of a demand or project from the program does not affect the planned start date of the program. | | Planned end date | Intended program end date. The end date extends based on the end date of the program tasks, projects, and demands. Removal of a demand or project from the program does not impact the planned start date of the program. You can adjust the program end date manually, based on the start and end date of the associated program tasks, projects, or demands. Nota: If a demand with end date later than the program end date is added, the Planned end date field becomes read only. | | Planned duration | Expected duration of this program. The planned duration changes based on the changes in planned start or end date of the program. | | Actual start date | Date on which the program actually starts. | | Actual end date | Date on which the program actually ends. | | Actual duration | Actual duration of the program from program start to program closure. | [Tabela 2.

Select a currency from the Currency Type list and enter a value. | | Planned returns | Planned returns is based on the difference between planned benefit and planned cost. | | Planned ROI% | The result is derived from the values in the Planned return and Planned cost fields. The formula is: planned return / planned cost x 100. | | Score | The program score is based on the individual scores of the following attributes: risk score, value score, and size score, which in turn are calculated based on risk, planning ROI%, and estimated cost attributes (on a program) respectively.
