Each project has a timeline view where the items (tasks and releases) you create will be listed on the left and visualized on the right. Above the timeline view is the main main toolbar and beneath it is the item details window.
You commit items from the product backlog to a schedule. This is very useful because features can be listed, categorized and analyzed in the product backlog and then planned out in the Planning section. See Using the product backlog in scheduling projects.

Two important things to have in mind when making the project plan:
- When you are making a project plan and assign tasks to users or change anything, it will have an immediate effect to all users connected to the project server.
- The project can have several project managers, each with his/her own project plan. If you want to co-ordinate between several project managers in the same project, Helix Plan recommends the Portfolio allocations tool. See Portfolio allocations.
