View the Projects Network:

From the View menu, select the Network Diagram option to

view the network (precedence diagram) of the project. Notice that

critical activities are shown in red and have bold borders

To specify what data to view in the box of each task, use

Format-Box Styles menu option

To design a new box or change the

design of the existing one,

use Format-Box St les

menu option

Scheduling with MS ProjectExercise 1:

Use MS Project for scheduling the small project shown below:

Set up a new project file Show columns for task name, duration, predecessors, successors, ES, EF, LS,

LF TF and FF times

Show the critical path(s) in a different pattern

On the Network (PDM) Diagram show the task name, duration, ES, EF, LS, LF,and TF

Print two sheets: one for the Gantt chart showin the activit data and the barchart, and another one for the PDM network
