How the planning pieces fit together

MP-Opt separates private planning from deliberate publishing. Two applications carry different parts of that journey:

• Desktop App - Builds, optimises and reviews the masterplan on the organiser's workstation.
• Web App - Makes the reviewed schedule available to authorised participants. Google Calendar is an alternative publishing destination.

Move from an empty event to a reviewed schedule

Work through these five decisions. The How it works guide shows the same journey with the relevant application screens.

1. Create an Event, add Persons and record their Capabilities
2. Describe Tasks and record the capabilities, people, times and locations they need.
3. Run the optimiser and resolve any constraints that prevent a valid allocation.
4. Review the proposed plan with the workload and feasibility metrics.
5. Publish the reviewed result to MP-Opt Server, Google Calendar or a local PDF.
