Project durations
If different workstreams within a project are working toward a target date within the project - can I easily work out the number of days between the project start date and the target date (in order to set the planned number of days) that each workstream will have, without having to physically count days on a calender?
RE: Project durations
Hi Alan
Thanks for your question. You might want to set a milestone with a constraint so that it falls when your various work streams should conclude.
If this is the last task in your project you could turn on the Project Summary (Tools > Options > View and select Show project summary task)
Project will create a summary task at the top of your Project Plan
If the milestone will not be the last task you could try adding the task into a summary containing the work streams. Again the summary task will calculate the number of working days required.
Let me know if either of these approaches answers your question.
Kind regards,
Andrew

MS Project tip:Typing Links Between TasksIn 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. |
