Deliverables

Is there any way to associate deliverables (i.e. the expected results of a task or group of tasks) with the tasks? So that the Gantt chart (or some other view) shows both the task and the expected result from that task?

RE: deliverables

Hi Martin

Thanks for your question. Two options spring to mind. You could add a text field (eg text1) and use it to store deliverable information. You could then modify your bar styles (Format > Bar Styles) so that the field text1 is displayed beside each bar.

Alternatively you could make each of your deliverables a Summary task (by indenting the tasks below it) and the sub tasks represent progress towards achieving the desired outcome.

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

Kind regards,

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.
