Changing Behaviours

How do i go back to work and drum up enthusiasm to those PMs who "won't use MSP" i.e. there is so much this toolset can do to help.

RE: Changing Behaviours

Hi Karen - great question! Perhaps they need to see their projects actually in MS Project. Double running a plan in MS Project and Excel would make it easy for example to show the difference in terms of time required to maintain or produce reports. I guess though it will boil down to getting to the roots of their reluctance - the issues may not be software related. Good luck! Let us know if you have any other questions - thanks, Andrew

MS Project tip:

Keep constraining dates to a minimum

As far as possible avoid fixing the dates of your tasks. For example try to steer of clear dragging task bars in the Gantt chart to move them on the timeline or entering dates directly into the Start / Finish fields.

Date constraints such as these limit Microsoft Project's ability to automatically adjust your project whenever you add, remove or modify the duration of your tasks. Instead use the logic in your task dependencies that link your tasks to enable Project to calculate the start and finish dates for you.
