==== Planned, Feasible and Actual  ====
 
Unlike traditional project planning tools, used for the creation of the plan, the DFR Planner in Synthesis is not only used to create the plan, but also automatically tracks, monitors and updates the entire plan as time progresses and as actions are completed. This is done through the simultaneous use of three different date and data sets, namely Planned, Feasible and Actual.
 
*Planned dates and data hold the original dates and data (start end, duration, cost etc.) put in the planner.
*Actual dates and data hold the final actual dates and data as recorded by the team on task/action/gate completion.
*Feasible dates and data are automatically and continuously updated based on how the project progresses.
 
In the ideal scenario, where each item is completed on-time and exactly as planned, all three are the same. In the real world however this is rarely the case. As an example consider the following example:
 
*Assume a project has two gates, A and B, and gate B has A as a precedence.
*Each gate has one action item below it namely Action 1 and 2 respectively.
*Assume 7 day work weeks and no holidays.
 
 
Then, the hierarchy would be as follows:
 
*Project
::*Gate A
::::Action 1
::*Gate B
::::Action 2
 
===== Initial Planning  =====
 
If we define Action 1 to start on May 1 and run for 10 days, and Action 2 to start after Action 1 is completed and also run for 10 days then our plan would be as follows:

Not that at this point, Planned and feasible are identical.
 
 
===== After the Start of Action 1  =====
 
Now assume that Action 1 was started on May 3 instead of May 1 as planned. Then the plan would automatically be shifted as follows:

#In creating the plan we set the project start date to be May 1st 2020. We then start with the first action, Action 1 in May 1 and expect it to be completed in 10 days or by May 11.

##Gate B and action 2 cannot start
