RE: Critical path

Hi Sanja

The critical path is used to highlight which task(s) if delayed will have the most significant impact on your projects finish time.

How you best utilise your analysis of the critical path wil very much depend on what tasks you define as critical (ie how much float you set) as well as the linking types between the tasks. In other words, trial and error (simulated!) will lead to experience on the best possible use of crtical path in your specific projects.

Hope this is of use.

Regards

Jacob

Ms project tip:

Using the Quick Access Toolbar in Project 2010

The Quick Access Toolbar is included in virtually every Office product, including Project 2010 as well as Outlook 2010, Word 2010, Excel 2010, and PowerPoint 2010.

You will find the Quick Access Toolbar in the top-left side of the window. To begin, click the Customize button (it's the little black arrow at the end of the toolbar).

Simply click the commands you want to include.

Virtually any command can be added to the Quick Access Toolbar. Click the More Commands option and a new window will open from where you can browse the commands including those not on the ribbon.
