RE: Critical path

Hello David,

Hope you enjoyed your Microsoft Project Introduction course with Best STL.

Thank you for your question regarding critical tasks.

Firstly, I'd like to answer your question with a little background. Whenever you begin entering tasks in Auto Scheduled mode the resulting current bars in the Gantt chart are a blue colour. To view all the critical tasks you must select the Format ribbon in the Gantt Chart Tools contextual tab, then from the Bar Styles group, click the Critical Tasks check box. The current bars in the Gantt Chart which are critical will now be a red colour. If there are any bars still blue, it is because they have some slack time.

I hope this resolves your question. If it has, please mark this question as resolved.

If you require further assistance, please reply to this post. Or perhaps you have another Microsoft Office question?

Have a great day.
Regards,

Rodney
