Project calendar
Calendar keeps the record of start and end date (actual) of the project and activities,
along with time and working hours of the week.
Project Calendar : While Project automatically provides you with default calendar settings
(Monday through Friday, 8AM to 5PM), those defaults might not be the right fit for your
projects. Therefore, it is vital for Project Calendar to enter things like holidays, typical
working hours of the project, or other organization-wide calendar items. When you enter
a holiday or a change to working times in a base calendar, those changes are
automatically reflected in all other calendars that use that base calendar to create Project
calendar..
Exception handling can also be easily through this so that the delays can be managed
properly.
It allows one to keep a list of holidays so that one can manage accordingly.

Plan creation
•Creating a plan comes handy with NFRA, one can import the activities from an
existing plan or from an excel sheet. Project Planning: It is universal law in the Project
business that the critical factors for project success is having a well-developed project
plan. Project Plan allows you to select Project Calendar and create Work Break-down
activity of the project, define Predecessors, start date, end-date of the activity. You
can also add Resources and associated information, like BOQ Items, staffing
requirements, machineries/equipment/tools.
•Once the task are there planned, projected and actual date for dates can be entered.
Nfra also provides the checklist of materials against the task being undertaken.
