Is there any particular projects/project areas that you wouldnt recommend using MS project?
RE: Project Theory
Hi James
Thank you for your question. It's hard to rule out project areas but I would say that MS Project works best when used for sequences of activities that lead to one or more deliverables, and have a clear start and finish.
Tasks that represent day to day work, ongoing activities with no defined start finish dates are better suited to applications like MS Outlook.
I hope this is a help of sorts - do let us know if you have any further questions and welcome to the Forum.
Kind regards,
Andrew
RE: Project Theory
Hi Andrew
I started using Project today and I'm stumped slighly when assign days to tasks then linking them. What I attempted is below:
test 1 2 days Mon 18/05/09 Wed 20/05/09
test 2 2 days Wed 20/05/09 Thu 21/05/09
test 3 2 days Thu 21/05/09 Mon 25/05/09
Not sure why its saying test 3 will start on Thursday?
thanks in advance
James
RE: Project Theory
Dont worry Andrew - Worked it out - I had assigned 7 hours as a day but had an 8 hour working day.
