In Project Manager/Project Management, there are three options in the Scheduling Options dialog:
- Retained Logic
- Progress Override
- Actual Dates
These three options control how Project Manager/Project Management calculates 'Out of Sequence Progress'. If the project does not feature any 'Out of Sequence Progress', then the choice of these two options will not affect the result of the schedule computation.
