    Enlarge View(s)

    Hi Group, Is there a way to enlarge views, such as the WBS area & Gantt or split screens? MS Project does not appear to have these features like Excel & it's quite annoying, especially when attempting to put a large program together. Thanks Design Engineer Project Manager (DEPM)

    Quick Way to Link Predessors

    Hi Everyone, Thanks for the feedback. When I originally posted, I forgot about the link task options. I was originally asking for a manual approach or semi-automated approach, where one would "punch in" a (large) series of predecessors (because I have a large program). I figured out...

    Quick Way to Link Predessors

    Hi Group, To a elaborate a little bit more with my question, I'm looking for for a way to link predecessors quickly instead of manually typing in. For example, I have a milestone & I would like to link a series of predecessors to it. How can this be done? Design Engineer Project Manager...

    Have 0 as for WBS ID?

    Hi, How can I have 0 (zero) as my first WBS ID? I did on past projects, but I don't recall how I did it before, since I've been away from MS Project for a while. Now, using MS Project 2010. Thanks DEPM Design Engineer Project Manager (DEPM)

    Planning Schedule & Resource Needs

    Hi Julie, Thanks for these tips. I'm trying to apply them. Right now I have this very hypothetical project plan without putting all 225 – 500 deliverable entries & its applicable WBS durations. Either through MS Project or Excel, I’m trying to demonstrate a high-level but realistic project...

    Planning Schedule & Resource Needs

    Hi Group, I’m trying to plan a project that has the following known & prospective parameters: We want a project start date to be 08/20/12 & the target date to be 12/21/12. We are hoping to complete the whole project by the end of the year. There are approximately 225 – 500 deliverables, which...

    Gantt Chart View vs. Tracking Gantt View

    Hi Julie, Are baselines modifiable? I do use baselines but I either because I forget to save one or establish a bit late into the project, such as being 1/4 to 1/2 way already into the project, then establish it. Additionally, with the group I manage, they are often highly indecisive &...

    Gantt Chart View vs. Tracking Gantt View

    Hi Julie, I attempted to upload a file the other day, but for some reason, cannot. I don't see how to upload files here. As for my project plan files, through MS Project 2007, I start off with a general project plan, which may have a series tasks, all with the same durations & planned...

    PMP Requirements

    Hi alecs13 & Others I went through this process approximately a year a go. Through the PMI.org website & plenty of other Project Mangement or PMI associated sites, there's plenty of directions about the qualification processes. Additionally, you can find various worksheets (MS Word Docs or...

    Gantt Chart View vs. Tracking Gantt View

    Hi Julie, Thanks for providing feedback. One of the problems that I'm having with my Gantt chart or WBS is my durations or dates are drastically changing, particularly in areas that I would not expect. For example, I'll have a "great looking" project plan at the beginning of the project &...

    Gantt Chart View vs. Tracking Gantt View

    Hi Group, Why does Gantt Chart View vs. Tracking Gantt views have radically different views? Also, why does one need individual headers & footers between to the 2 different style views? I'm desperately trying to show the planned vs. actual project plan, but every time I adjust a date, it...
