Summary Tasks

Hey :)

I have 2 summary tasks which are misbehaving. They are insisting on starting at the project start rather than after their childrens' (excuse, can't remember right word) predecessors.

I haven't linked them with anything as I know Andrew said that was a no-no (although I'm tempted to as I can't figure out how else to fix this!) but their children are appropriately linked. Everything else is fine, just these 2 summaries are enormous and somehow locked to project start date :(

Help!
Luci



RE: Summary Tasks

Andrew,

I have allocated this to you as she mentions you gave guidance on the subject during her training.

Thanks

Richard

RE: Summary Tasks

You know what, it sorted itself out...by...magic or something, I dunno. I think it had to do with me outdenting some tasks below them, but they were in no way associated so I don't know why.

Hmmmm.....

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.
