    MS Project Basic Exercise

    1) Start a new project

    2) Go into options to modify the days/hours worked – easier beforehand than


    after you start

    3) You’ll be in the Gantt View – left side will be your quick table and right side
    will be your actual Gantt Chart

    4) First column – Name your Project “My Project”

    5) Then add all your tasks


    a. Phase 1 – Initiation/Concept
    i. Plan
    ii. Project Proposal
    iii. Project Approval
    b. Phase 2 – Origination
    i. Design
    c. Phase 3 – Implementation/Execution
    i. Development/Build
    ii. Integration
    iii. Validation Testing
    d. Phase 4 – Deliver the Service/Project
    e. Closing – Summary of your project

    6) Highlight all areas below your project name


    a. Indent Right (makes them subtasks)

    7) Do this to all the other summary tasks


    a. Phase 1, Phase 2, etc…
    8) Add Time/Duration for each task – skip the summary tasks (or just make
    them 0)

    9) Organize the tasks – are they sequential? Concurrent


    a. Use the link icon to link them together
    b. You’ll have a “diamond” to indicate a milestone

    10) You may have predecessors you need to handle (this before that and so
    on…)
    a. Use the task numbers and add them to the predecessor and it will
    automatically calculate

    11) Task Mode


    a. Manual or Automatic (I would set to calculate automatically)
    b. Notice the color changes in the Gantt Chart
    c. Look at the completed project schedule (bottom right hand to zoom)

    12) Change the start date


    a. Project>Move Project – insert the new date
    b. Notice how all moves

    13) Now add people/resources


    a. Go to Gantt Chart in upper left hand corner and change view
    i. Resource Sheet
    ii. Define People and other Resources
    1. PM1
    2. Tech1
    3. ENG1
    4. ENG2
    5. TESTUSER1
    iii. Add in hourly rates if tracking cost

    14) Gantt View


    a. Go to the column and view resources
    b. See drop down menu – choose your resources
    15) Add column next to resources for “Cost”

    16) Reports>dashboards – Cost Overview and Work Overview

    17) Take a Baseline/Reference


    a. Project>Set Baseline
    b. Show the 1st Baseline – gray bars reference for the project

    18) Tracking the project as you work through it


    a. Add amount complete (50%, etc)
    i. Right click on task to add different dominations

    19) Tracking Gantt – critical path is shown


    a. May need to go in and change the duration and add comments to
    your task if it is causing slippage
