Monitoring Progress

Is the main idea of MS Project that it is used just for planning projects, or is it perfectly acceptable to tweak the times it is ACTUALLY taking to complete tasks if your original estimates were not accurate?

RE: Monitoring Progress

Hi Alix

Thank You for your question

Project is as much a project tracking tool as it is a project planning tool, and it is very much acceptable to alter your actual times to reflect changes.

Once you have baselined the project, it is assumed that any changes you make reflect what is actually happening in the real world, and project will reflect in the tracking Gantt these changes and how they have affected the project's progress.

Regards

Stephen

MS Project tip:

Use Autofill in MS Project

a. Complete 1st entry
b. Select cell with entry to be copied
c. Click & drag autofill handle over the lines to also contain the same information. (the autofill handle is the little black square in the bottom right hand corner of the heavy lack outline on the selected cell)
