please confirm /advise in respect of the creation of float and slack and milestones/constraints

RE: microsoft project

Hi Mark

Float is created where two tasks are linked (e.g. finish to start) and the successor is constrained beyond the finish of its predecessor. A partial constraint type is Start no earlier than SNET (reached via double clicking on the successor name then choosing the advanced tab). The successor could be a task or a milestone (0 duration).

I hope this helps. Do let us know if you have any further questions - kind regards, Andrew


 

MS Project tip:

Typing Links Between Tasks

In the Entry table, use the Precessors column to type in links. Type the previous task's ID to link. To change the link, add FS (Finish-Start), FF (Finish-Finish), and so on, and + duration to add a Lag, or - duration for a Lead time. Example: for task 5, 4FS+1w ... task 4 preceeds task 5, finish to start, with a week lag between.
