Continuing or shelving a project

Past projects that could not be completed in the previous period are automatically continued at the beginning of the decision period. Hence, all your uncompleted projects will appear in the R&D home form shown in Figure 51. Click on a project name to zoom in the project and show its recap form, as shown in Figure 55.

To continue a project, you simply need to allocate a budget to it, as explained in sections V.11.F and 0. Because a continued project is a past project, the recap form tells you exactly what budget is required to complete it. The other decisions – name, description, characteristics and base cost – cannot be modified.

To shelve a project, simply click the Shelve button at the bottom of the form. The project will be removed from your current R&D decisions and  will no longer appear on the form in Figure 51. Shelved projects may be continued at any time, as explained in section V.11.C.
