At the early stages of a project it’s useful to create a "broad stroke" schedule with different phases of work and important Milestone dates captured, together with an estimate of how many users are needed to complete the different phases (we call these Events). Creating a plan using Calendar events is a great way to get an overview of work needed to be carried out by the studio and the resources required. The project plan in Studio is just a visual representation at a high level and does not control how individual tasks on the project are scheduled or assigned.
