Phoenix Project Manager has two main views to create or edit your schedules: Barchart, and Network Diagram. You may already be familiar with the Barchart (or Gantt Chart) view from other popular project management software that lays out one activity for every line giving details of all activities in a table on the left side. On the right, Barchart shows the flow of the schedule with relationships on a timeline. The Network Diagram view, exclusive to Phoenix Project Manager, introduces a new way to create schedules based on the Arrow Diagram Method (ADM). You can create or edit your schedules in both views, however, you will only be able to assign network line numbers in the Network Diagram view.

Tip: You can quickly switch between Barchart and Network Diagram views by pressing Ctrl+B for Barchart and Ctrl+D for Network Diagram.

Both views make use of a timescale at the top of the screen. Changing the scale of the timescale is as easy as clicking and dragging anywhere in the timescale. Dragging to the left side of the timescale will shrink the timescale while dragging to the right will enlarge it. You can customize the look and units shown from the Timescale Format window found from the Format menu. You can also access the Format Timescale Dialog by double-clicking or right-clicking anywhere in the timescale.
