How do you build in tolerance?

If we have a project which should finish 31/12/09 how do we build in slack or tolerance, are they the same thing?

For upcoming training course dates see: Pricing & availability

RE: How do you build in tolerance?

Hi Malcolm,

Thank you for your question.

You can create slack by adding constraints between the predecessor and successor.

If a successor has more than one predecessor the longest predecessor has the ability to produce slack in the project.

I hope this answers your question.

Regards

Simon

Ms project tip:

Inserting Task Durations Quickly

When entering durations for your tasks simply use the single letters - m for min, h for hr, d for day, w for week, but mon for month. If default is set for days, you need only type the number, for example 3 for 3days, or 0.5 for half a day.
