Critical path analysis

How do you show the critical path on the Gantt chart

RE: Critical path analysis

Hi Martin

The fastest way to view your critical path is to swtich to the Tracking Gantt view which still shows your Gantt chart but changes the bars of your critical tasks to red.

Alternatively click on the Gantt chart wizard icon (the magic wand at the end of the formatting toolbar) and choose the Critical Path option. This will reformat your regular Gantt chart to show critical task bars in red.

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

Kind regards,

Andrew

MS Project tip:

Link tasks using predecessor column - project

a. First, note ID number of the task you want to link to (predecessor). Then, in the predecessor column of the task you want to link to (successor), type the predecessor task's ID number.
b. The link will be a Finish to Start (the default type).
c. Or you can add in a code for a different relationship type
i. SS = Start to Start
ii. FF = Finish to Finish
iii. SF = Start to Finish
d. You don't have to type the task ID numbers in any specific order, but you must separate multiple tasks with commas.
