Differences between float and lag

RE: Project

Hi Chris. Float is essentially a pause before a constrained date. The time before this date can be used to reschedule other tasks into. Lag, on the other hand, is hardwired in. A good example is concrete setting. Whatever happens a certain amount of time has to elapse for the concrete to dry. If you reschedule tasks before this period, you still have to allow for that period of time in the project plan. Schedule recruitment to take place, say, in two weeks and you can "eat into" this time by, say, scheduling more interviews.

Hope this helps,

Anthony


 

MS Project tip:

Using the Quick Access Toolbar in Project 2010

The Quick Access Toolbar is included in virtually every Office product, including Project 2010 as well as Outlook 2010, Word 2010, Excel 2010, and PowerPoint 2010.

You will find the Quick Access Toolbar in the top-left side of the window. To begin, click the Customize button (it's the little black arrow at the end of the toolbar).

Simply click the commands you want to include.

Virtually any command can be added to the Quick Access Toolbar. Click the More Commands option and a new window will open from where you can browse the commands including those not on the ribbon.
