What is the Control Plans functionality in cProjects used for?

[Former Member]

Hi Folks,

What is the purpose and usage of control plans in cProjects? Is this useful in an environment where QM is not implemented? Appreciate if somebody could provide an example of how this functionality will be useful from a project management standpoint. I am on cProjects 4.5.

Cheers,

Hi,

the control plan functionality in cProjects is deprecated, see SAP Note 1114207:

Using the control plans is not recommended because with new

developments in SAP PLM Quality Management (QM). cProjects

remains the preferred project management solution, but all QM

aspects that are not directly related to project management

should be managed in SAP ERP.

Kind regards,

Thanks very much for the answer Florian. The note was certainly very helpful.

In an environment where QM is not implemented, is there any value in using control plans?
