USING MS PROJECT 2010

•  Project  management  so.ware  programs  such  as  Microso.  
Project  2010  can  be  used  for  developing  the  project  
schedule  and  budget,  and  tracking  actual  vs.  planned  
progress  
•  We  demonstrate  the  use  of  MS  Project  2010  for  a  sample  
project  
•  Complete  model  found  in  construcCon.mpp  on  class  
web  page  
•  Begin  by  launching  MS  Project  2010

 Time, Cost, and Scope: Managing Project Constraints
•  Project management gets most interesting when you must balance
the Project Triangle: time, cost, and scope constraints of your
projects.
•  The project triangle illustrates the process of balancing constraints
because the three sides of the triangle are connected, and changing
one side of a triangle affects at least one other side.

Trade-off: Impacts of Shorten Schedule

 Impacts of Cost Cutting

•  As a project manager, you must consider (or, more likely,

communicate to the decision makers) the benefits versus
the risks of reducing costs.

 MS Project 2010 Setup
•  Select File, Options, click on “Schedule” tab
•  For Calendar options for this project: “Select “All
New Projects”
•  For Scheduling options for this project: select “All
New Projects”
•  For New Tasks Created: select “Auto Scheduled”
•  For Duration is entered in: select “weeks”
•  For default task type: select “fixed duration”
•  make sure New tasks are effort driven is NOT checked
•  Click OK when finished

 Creating a Project

•  Click on Project, Project Information, select 10/3/11

as the Start date, click OK
•  Click on Save as, type in project name such as Demo,
click OK
•  Your project is saved as Demo.mpp

 Example Project
•  Task, Duration, and Immediate Predecessor Information for Construction Project
•  IMMEDIATE DURATION
•  TASK DESCRIPTION PREDECESSORS (WEEKS)
•  1 START -- 0
•  2 Excavate and Pour Footers 1 3
•  3 Pour Concrete Foundation 2 1
•  4 Erect Rough Wall & Roof 3 4
•  5 Install Siding 4 6
•  6 Install Plumbing 4 3
•  7 Install Electrical 4 4
•  8 Install Wallboard 6,7 5
•  9 Lay Flooring 8 6
•  10 Do Interior Painting 8 3
•  11 Install Interior Fixtures 9,10 3
•  12 Install Gutters & Downspouts 5 2
•  13 Do Grading & Landscaping 12 3
•  14 FINISH 11,13 0

Entering Task Information

•  Default view, Entry table on left, Gantt Chart on right
•  You can delete the two left-most columns, “i” and “task
mode” by highlighting these columns and pressing the
“delete” key (not needed by us)
•  Task numbers now in left-most column
•  Enter task name and duration in their field
•  The default is weeks or “w”
•  “d” for days and “h” for hours can be used
•  Enter predecessor task number(s) in the “Predecessors”
field
•  MS Project automatically gives start and finish dates
based on critical path analysis

 Entering Task Information

Task Information
Double-clicking on a task name opens the Task Information” screen

16
 Project Charts
•  The Gantt Chart view shows task linkages
•  Since START and FINISH are dummy activities with 0
duration, they are milestones in MS Project (black
diamonds)
–  Right-click on dates in the chart and then “zoom” as
desired
•  Change view to Network Diagram by clicking on “View”
in the menu and then select “Network Diagram” (zoom as
desired)

Critical Path Analysis

•  MS Project 2010 automatically computes the critical path

and the earliest and latest start and finish times and slack

•  Project, Project Information, Statistics shows the critical

path is 26 weeks in our project

 Project Critical Path Length

21

Critical Path Analysis

•  Use the “Detail Gantt” to best display the critical path

•  Select “View”, “Other Views”, “More Views”, “Detail
Gantt” then “Apply”
•  Use the “Schedule Table” to display all of the early and
late start and finish information, along with total and free
slack
•  Again from “View”, select “Table”, and then “Schedule”

Critical Path Analysis

•  Critical path tasks can be identified as those have zero total slack (TS)
or float
•  TS = LF – EF = LS – ES
•  The TS of only 1 task can be used if we want to be certain about not
delaying the project
•  Free slack (FS) of a task is the difference between the smallest of the
ES’s of the task’s immediate successors and the task’s EF.
•  Using FS does not affect the start times of a task’s successors
•  FS <= TS
•  FS of multiple tasks can be used without delaying the project
•  FS is shown on the Detail Gantt

24
 Critical Path Analysis
•  Notice that tasks 12 and 13 both have 7 weeks of total
slack
•  However, if task 12 uses this slack, it is not available to
task 13, so its slack is not free
•  Tasks 12 and 13 are linked, so delaying the start of 12
delays the start of 13 by the same amount
• 

25

Summary Tasks
•  Summary tasks can be used to better organize a project (see
constructionS.mpp)
•  We add three summary tasks: Structure, Interior, and
Exterior
•  Structure includes current tasks 2 – 4, Interior includes 6 –
11, Exterior includes 5, 12, 13
•  Example: highlight “Excavate and Pour Footers,” click on
“Tasks”, click on” Summary,” enter “Structure”
•  Indent first three tasks under “Structure” by highlighting them
and selecting “indent” (thick green arrow going to the right)
