how do I remove the constraints.

RE: Microsoft Project

Hi Martin

Since all tasks must have a constraint our only option would be to choose a flexible constraint.

Double click on the name of your task and go to the advanced tab.

In the constraint type drop down choose As Soon As Possible

You should find if your tasks are locked to dates they move as early as they can in your project.

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

Kind regards,
Andrew

RE: Microsoft Project

HI Andrew,
As a rule, is the constraint As soon as possible' is the best one to maintain??

Hi Rajkumar

It's hard to say that one constraint type might be better than another. You will probably encounter As Soon As Possible the most because its set as the default for tasks in MS Project.

ASAP works well for projects scheduled from the project start date (Project > Project information). The effect is to keep your plan as compact as possible. All of which means your finished plan is showing you the earliest date your project will finish.

So Hope this helps.

Kind regards,
Andrew

MS Project tip:

Using the Quick Access Toolbar in Project 2010

The Quick Access Toolbar is included in virtually every Office product, including Project 2010 as well as Outlook 2010, Word 2010, Excel 2010, and PowerPoint 2010.

You will find the Quick Access Toolbar in the top-left side of the window. To begin, click the Customize button (it's the little black arrow at the end of the toolbar).

Simply click the commands you want to include.

Virtually any command can be added to the Quick Access Toolbar. Click the More Commands option and a new window will open from where you can browse the commands including those not on the ribbon.
