Delays on Projects

Once a project is delayed and a revised programme of works is required, can changes be highlighted on the original programme show delay is time?

RE: Delays on Projects

Hi Arivantha

Thank you for your application. When you are ready to begin work on your project save your baseline (Tools > Tracking > Save baseline). Now if there is a change to your plan you can see variance from your originally agreed schedule by looking at the Tracking Gantt View (from the View menu). By default the original plan is coloured in grey and the live plan is in colour.

I hope this helps - let us know if you have any further questions.

Kind regards,
Andrew

MS Project tip:

Keep constraining dates to a minimum

As far as possible avoid fixing the dates of your tasks. For example try to steer of clear dragging task bars in the Gantt chart to move them on the timeline or entering dates directly into the Start / Finish fields.

Date constraints such as these limit Microsoft Project's ability to automatically adjust your project whenever you add, remove or modify the duration of your tasks. Instead use the logic in your task dependencies that link your tasks to enable Project to calculate the start and finish dates for you.
