Project plan

Your project plan breaks down the tasks involved in your project into a multilevel framework of dependencies.

Through the project plan, you can gain insights into your task hierarchy, with each process and step displayed as a subordinate element to its relevant task or process element.

You can export your project plan data from the Shoreline web app and import it into a project management software suite to visualize your project schedule as a Gantt chart:

The task breakdown within the project plan follows this hierarchy:

  • Task
    • Process
      • Step

Within a Shoreline case, an example hierarchy might look like this:

  • Task: Installation (bottom fixed)
    • Process: HLV mobilization
      • Step: Step 1
      • Step: Step 2
    • Process: Loadout
      • Step: Step 1
      • Step: Step 2
      • Step: Step 3
    • Process: Transit to windfarm
      • Step: Step 1
    • Process: Jack up
      • Step: Step 1
    • Etc.

The table below outlines the information in the exported file.
