ms+project+training - Producing report, resorces etc

Hi Grant

Thanks for your questions.

There are several reports in Project that show progress. View > Reports > Overview > Project Summary will give you a current position report. Alternatively you might want to print out the Tracking Gantt chart (perhaps with the variance or cost table displayed)

To bring notes up to the Gantt chart go to Format > Bar styles and select the task item from the list. Switch to the text tab then click one of the available slots and from the list of fields choose Notes. Click OK and any notes attached to tasks will appear beside the bars.

Splitting a task is useful to indicate that a task starts then pauses (perhaps to release resources to work on other tasks) before resuming later on. It also allows Project to show partially complete tasks and the remaining work to be carried out later in the project.

I hope this answers your question - do let us know if we can be of any further help.

Kind regards,

Andrew
