Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

Hi Chris,

In planning terms a S Curve usually shows progress over time. The curve is usually shaped like a S because intially progress is slow, then ramps up in the middle of the project before levelling off at the end.

All projects though do not follow the S curve format with some being more front loaded while others are back loaded; or even middle laoded (bell shaped curve)..

keep planning,

Kevin.
