TopicMaintaining a Good Critical Path in Microsoft Project 2010

 

Description:

There’s a lot to love about Microsoft Project 2010.  The Excel-like features and user controlled scheduling in Project 2010 will make for an easier transition for Excel users.  In Project 2007, when you enter a new name in a blank task row, the application fills in default values for a start date, an end date, and a duration. It needs those values to calculate the schedule. Project 2010 introduces user controlled scheduling, which allows you to manually schedule a task based on the information available to you. In manually scheduled mode, when you enter a task name, the dates and duration remain blank (just like they would in Excel).

 

This increased flexibility of user controlled scheduling comes at a price.  With Project 2010, you must be even more vigilant that your schedule quality remains high. What does this mean? A high quality schedule has a good critical path, which means that the critical path reflects reality and that slippage in one part of the critical path affects the project's finish date proportionally.

 

Steelray Software introduced a tool in 2007 called Steelray Project Analyzer that checks Microsoft Project schedules for schedule quality, including checks for a solid critical path. The latest version of Steelray Project Analyzer has a number of checks that are specific to Project 2010.  The presentation will demonstrate how to make sure that your Project 2010 schedule has a solid critical path.
