Project Intro Intermediate course

Milestones/meetings

we entered milestones for weekly reoccuring meetings. is it possible to do something very similar but without the milestones in order to avoid confusion from other viewers?

RE: milestones/meetings

Hi Tracey

Sure - when you go to Insert > Recurring task you can choose the duration to suit. Rather than a milestone with 0 days duration you could set something more appropriate to your organisation. By default recurring tasks are set to 1 day duration but you might choose 1h (hour) or .5 (half a day)

Hope this helps - let us know if you have any other questions.

Kind regards,

Andrew

MS Project tip:

Set default task type - Project 2010

a. In Project, click on the File tab
b. Select Options from left hand side
c. Click on Schedule to set the scheduling options
d. Set the Default Task type box to your chosen option
i. Generally if you plan/estimate your projects using durations you should use fixed duration, and untick the box New tasks are effort driven, if you plan/estimate with person hours use fixed work, or for plans estimated with the proportion of resources time use fixed units, and untick the box New tasks are effort driven)
e. Click OK to apply your changes
