Scheduling Formula Microsoft Project

Microsoft Project Free Trial

Get up to speed with Project Web App (PWA), the collaborative browser-based interface for Microsoft Project. Instructor John Riopel, PMP, shows you how to use PWA to efficiently collaborate and share details about projects, tasks, and resources, all from one centralized location. John begins by showing how to create new enterprise projects in PWA, including how to allocate resources to the project, update timesheets and tasks, and generate status reports. Plus, explore how to enable additional features, force check-in for projects, and use multiple timelines. By the end of the course, you'll be able to use PWA to keep track of every element of your project portfolio.

You can use these filters to analyze schedules for completeness, find common scheduling errors, and create custom reports. Sequencing Logic 1. Tasks without PredecessorsThis checks for and displays any detailed tasks that do not have a predecessor(s).Best Practice: Every task and milestone in a schedule (with exception to the first task and summary-level tasks) should be connected to at least one predecessor.2. Tasks without SuccessorsThis searches for and displays any detailed tasks that do not have a successor(s).Best Practice: Every task and milestone in a schedule (with exception to the last task and summary-level tasks) should be connected to at least one successor.3. Summary Tasks with DependenciesThis looks for and displays any summary-level tasks that have a predecessor and/or successor.Best Practice: Predecessor(s) and successor(s) should be limited to detailed tasks and milestones only.4.

Out of Sequence LogicThis checks for and displays any detailed tasks that have a reported actual start that is before the baseline start. For this filter, I use a custom flag field with the following formula:IIf(Actual Start.
