# Managing plans

Plans allow you to schedule your task executions in sequence, define failure handlers, and set the execution intervals.

Plans can consist of Job or pipeline tasks, or a mixture of them, depending on your license and requirements.

Information noteNote: The displayed duration of a plan run is not equal to the total of the displayed step durations of the tasks in this plan.

* The displayed duration of the entire plan run is the difference between the trigger timestamp of the first step and the finish timestamp of the last step.
