How do you build in tolerance?

If we have a project which should finish 31/12/09 how do we build in slack or tolerance, are they the same thing?

RE: How do you build in tolerance?

Hi Malcolm,

Thank you for your question.

You can create slack by adding constraints between the predecessor and successor.

If a successor has more than one predecessor the longest predecessor has the ability to produce slack in the project.

I hope this answers your question.

Regards

Simon

MS Project tip:

Formatting Bar Text

To display notes or resource initials on the Gantt chart bars, choose Format, Bar Styles and the Text tab. Select the position you want to show the text i.e. Top or Inside etc, then choose the field name you are looking for from the drop down arrow. Type the first letter of the name to get quickly to the top of the letter range. Click OK.
