ms project and ms visio training in london - Alert; delay

Hi Deborah

Thanks for your question. When you set your constraint you can also add a deadline to a task. Double click on your task and go to the advanced tab. From the deadline dropdown box choose a date. This will set an arrow indicator in your plan on the date you selected. If the task is then delayed so that it finishes later that the deadline you chose Project will put an alert in the Indicators column. You could set your deadlines early enough so that they act as an early warning that your dates are slipping and preventative action is needed.

Hope this is helpful. Do let us know if you have any further questions.

Kind regards,

Andrew
