Hi,
I am new to MS project and have taken basic classes and need help wit
an odd situation.
I am managing a software implemetation project- only the completion o
tasks are of concern, I don't track how many hours or amount of effort.
Additionally I am not concerned with costs or leveling.
An example of my typical tasks: Training has to be scheduled ( I don'
care how long it takes only that it gets done by x date); the client ha
been contacted with specific information etc. ( only that it gets don
by x date)
I have 2 questions:
1. How to schedule tasks that won't take 20 days to complete but ar
due in 20 days. I am using the following Predecessor type: 20FS+20d
with a duration of 1 day. Is this the best way to utilize Project?
2. I have a task that can not be completed due to clients hardwar
issues, do I reschedule it using the reschedule function or change th
predecessor (probably a bad idea I know)
I was originally using MS Excel but management has decreed I star
using MS Project.
Thanks for any input!
