I'm using MS Project 2007 Standard. I'm a novice user. Having just pulled
together my first project plan, my manager would like to see status based on
red, yellow, green. He also says he's had project status where there are
buttons on the menu bar indicating red,yellow or green that the person
reviewing status can click and easily see what tasks are in jeopardy or late.
My plan has a baseline start and finish and an actual start and finish.
I've also got a duration for the baseline.
Here is what I'm trying to do.
Mark tasks that are due to complete (baseline Finish) but have not - red
status.
Mark tasks that are open but in jeopardy and may not close on schedule
(baseline finish date) - red status
Tasks that are open/in progress with a potential jeopardy of completing on
time - yellow status
Tasks that are due to start (baseline start) - could be red or yellow.
Tasks that are on target to start or complete on time - green status
Tasks that have completed - blue status.
How do I create status with colors for these? And is there a way to show the
red, yellow, green buttons on the tool bar?
Any help is appreciated.
Thank You,
