When to use it
Running an Intensive Planning Session: agree the goal, the inputs each function needs, and who does what by when.
How to make it in PMO Pilot
- Insert sample, or Fill with AI from notes… with the workshop notes.
- Edit cards on the slide: task, then “Owner · 10 d”, then a short description.
- Press Recalculate totals & critical path — workstream totals (weeks) and the red critical path update; your layout stays.
- Use Edit content to add tasks or change what a task Starts after (open its details), then Redraw.
Tip: 5 working days = 1 week. A task starts after the previous card in its workstream unless you pick something else under Starts after.
