   MS Project offers the ability to customize the ribbon by adding or removing tabs;
Before beginning a new project, an organization must determine whether the
                                                                         project fits its strategic goals. Executives should classify proposed projects
                                                                         that focus on mission-critical activities as high-priority and projects that are
                                                                         peripheral to organization goals as lower priority.
                                                                         Before work begins, an executive sponsor should be identified. The
                                                                         organization should complete a high-level evaluation of the project’s business
                                                                         case, its limitations, and its technical and financial requirements.
                                                                         Finally, a project manager should be identified, who can then set up a project
                                                                         plan in Microsoft Office Project 2010.
                                                                         Need a more detailed guide to project management with Project 2010? GO to

4. Save the project file        On the File tab, click Save. In the File name box, type the project name.
In the planning stage you identify the project’s milestones, deliverables, and
                                                                tasks. This plan can be your Work Breakdown Structure (WBS). You develop
                                                                and refine the schedule, and identify the resources required to implement the
                                                                project.



1. Enter tasks          Click the Task tab. In the Task Name field, enter tasks. Tasks can also include summary tasks, milestones, and WBS
                        items.

2. Outline tasks        Create your task hierarchy, including tasks and milestones under summary tasks, which can represent phases or other
                        work divisions. Click a task (or several tasks), and then click the Indent or Outdent button   on the toolbar.

3. Enter durations      Click the Duration field for a task and enter duration; for example, type 4d to indicate 4 days. To specify a milestone
                        without duration, type 0d. To indicate that a duration is an estimate, add a question mark; for example, type 6d?
                        Note MS project 2010 provides you the ability to leave the duration, start, or finish dates blank, and give you to set
                        them as information available.

4. Link tasks to show   Select the tasks that you want to link, and then click the Link Tasks button     on the Ribbon- Task tab. This will set e
   relationships        the default finish-to-start dependency type.
Assignments are the associations between specific tasks and the resources
                                                                      needed to complete them. You can assign more than one resource to a task. In
                                                                      addition to work resources (people), you can assign material resources (such as
                                                                      cement) and cost resources (such as travel) to tasks.



1. Define the resource pool    On the View tab, click Resource Sheet. In the Resource Name field, type the names of the resources you will use for
                               this project. You may enter the data of the other fields latter.



2. Assign resources to tasks   On the Resource Tab, select a task to which you want to assign a resource. Click the Assign Resources button    . In
                               the Assign Resources dialog box, click the resource names, and then click Assign.
                               You can also assign resources to tasks by selecting the resource name form the drop down list in the resource names

3. Enter the amount of         When scheduling tasks, project managers sometimes prefer to enter the amount of work (or the amount of labor)
   work resources spend on     needed to complete a task, rather than the duration for the task. Entering work reflects real-world scheduling.
   tasks
                               To enter work hours for resources assigned to tasks, add the Work column to the Gantt Chart view. On the Insert
                               menu, click Column.
4. Know your task type


                         As soon as you assign resources, Project 2010 determines how to schedule the task based on the task type. You might
                         actually see durations change as resources are assigned to tasks.

                         How task types work
                         Work, duration, and units (% allocation) are determined by the formula: Work = Duration * Units.

                                     In a . . .        If you revise work . . .   If you revise duration . . .   If you revise units . . .

                             Fixed units task          Duration changes           Work changes                   Duration changes

                             Fixed work task           Duration changes           Units change                   Duration changes

                             Fixed duration task       Units change               Work changes                   Work changes



                              To set a default task type for the entire project, click File tab >> Options , and then click the Schedule tab. In the
                               Default task type box, select Fixed Units (the default), Fixed Duration, or Fixed Work.

                              To change the task type for an individual task, select the task, and then click the Task Tab >> Task Information
                               button . Click the Advanced tab, and then in the Task type box, click the task type that you want to create.
Create a baseline or an interim plan so that later you can compare your up-to-
                                                                      date schedule to your baseline. Saving a baseline plan enables you to identify
                                                                      and solve discrepancies and plan more accurately for similar future projects.



1. Save the baseline plan    After your project plan is solidly in place for the finish date, budget, and scope, you can submit the plan for approval.
                             Once it has been approved, save the baseline plan. On the Project Tab, click Set Baseline. You can save up to 11
                             baselines.

2. View baseline data in a   On the View tab, click Tracking Gantt. In the chart area, the baseline information is shown as the lower of the two
   Gantt Chart view          Gantt bars for each task.

3. View baseline data in a   On the View tab, point to Table, and then select Variance. This table includes fields for baseline and variance start
   table                     and finish.
Updating the progress of your project is the only way to make sure it stays on
                                                                    track as work is performed. The focus at this point is on managing changes,
                                                                    updating the schedule, tracking progress, and communicating project
                                                                    information.
                                                                    Project 2010 tracks three sets of dates: current, baseline, and actual. When
                                                                    you first set the baseline, current = baseline. When a task is 100% complete,
                                                                    current = actual. Baseline, current, and actual values exist for the start date,
                                                                    finish date, duration, cost, and work.



1. Manage changes           Managing changes involves modifying durations, dates, dependencies, resource assignments, or tasks based on
                            requested changes or new information. Keep the current fields up to date and compare them to the baseline.

2. Track actual dates and   It’s best to decide on a single method for tracking progress. You can enter percentage complete, actual start and finish
   durations                dates, actual and remaining durations, or actual and remaining work.
                            Select the task for which you want to enter actual progress. On the Task tab, point to Schedule group, and then click
                            Mark on Track right arrow >> Update Tasks. In the Update Tasks dialog box, enter progress data in the fields that
                            match your tracking method.

3. Track actual hours and   If you want to enter actual and remaining work hours or costs, use the tracking table. On the View tab, point to Table,
   costs                    and then click Tracking. Enter progress data in the Act. Work or Act. Cost fields for the task.
                            You can also use the tracking table to enter percent complete, actual start and finish dates, and actual and remaining
                            duration.
Keep stakeholders and team members up-to-date on project progress by
                                                                        providing them with access to online or printed views and reports.
                                                                        Project 2010 provides many ways to print and distribute both detailed and
                                                                        overview information project information quickly and efficiently.
