Video 2 How to Create a Project Schedule in MS Project

This shows you how to enter tasks, create summary tasks, create milestones, find the critical path, and avoid errors people new to MS Project 2010 or 2013 often make. This video describes how to complete Professor Ward's Exercise 2 in the Two-Machine Maintenance Project suite of Labs on project management.

Also, the video does not show you how to create outline numbers. To do this, simple right click at the top of Table - Entry View go to Insert Column, and Type Outline Numbers. when you see the words Outline Numbers populate in your textbox, press enter to automatically create them.

Brilliant explanation of setting up a project schedule.

This is well articulated with a simple example.

So how do you align subtasks that are under different main activities but can occur concurrently and can precede each other without getting the strange lines?

[gooboberti]

Fantastic tutorial. You covered all the bases (the important ones).

Thanks for your video was a great help, however the project in the processes tasks in parallel with each other, we need to create a project with all tasks running sequentially, the only way I could do this was to manually change the start dates for the various tasks which you do not recommend, any advise would be appreciated.

You can not set today function. It is showing always project start day. I can not start a project file with today. I switched to zentao which helps me get things done, it easier to understand and has more features.

Hi, maybe you cover it elsewhere but why not use a milestone as a dependency? For example you could use a “start” and “complete” milestone within each summary task section and link these to previous milestones.

What is your experience of using Microsoft Project for projects that take 2+ years and are customer contingent on timelines?

[ayandaclarasithole]
