How do you build in tolerance?

If we have a project which should finish 31/12/09 how do we build in slack or tolerance, are they the same thing?

RE: How do you build in tolerance?

Hi Malcolm,

Thank you for your question.

You can create slack by adding constraints between the predecessor and successor.

If a successor has more than one predecessor the longest predecessor has the ability to produce slack in the project.

I hope this answers your question.

Regards

Simon
