How do I identify existing schedule conflicts in MS project

[Garry Collins]

I have a project with several scheduling conflicts that I am about to
resolve. How do I check to see if there are any more that I have missed.

Regards,

Hi,

Show the column "Total Slack"
Auto Filter on less than zero.

If by schedule conflicts you mean resources being double booked, just go
look for the red names on the resource sheet. Red means they're
overallocated, which means that at some point in the project they're booked
to be doing more work than their maximum allowed usage. Usually this means
you've put them to be in two places at once, ie, working on two or more
concurrent tasks that should require their full attention each. To identify
the specifc areas of conflict, switch to one of the usage views and use the
[Alt][F5] hotkey to jump from overallocation to overallocation. Look for
work hours in red.

Thank you, that has answered my question completely.

Sometimes I wish that the help was a little more helpful.

Thanks again,

Garry.
