Establishing Task Dependencies MS Project is used to adjust schedules automaticallyand to do critical path analysis, so we must determinethe dependencies or relationships among tasks.

Gantt Charts A Gantt chart is a standard format for displayingproject schedule information that lists project task andtheir corresponding start and finish dates in acalendar format. It shows each task as a horizontal bar with thelength and position corresponding to the timescale atthe top of the Gantt Chart. It is the default view to the right of the Entry table.
Gantt Charts To adjust the timescale, Click the Zoom out button orthe Zoom In button.
Network Diagrams Network diagram is the schematic display of thelogical relationships or sequencing of project activities. Present each task as a box with linking lines betweentasks to show sequencing. How to represent Network diagram? View the network diagram. Click View on the Menu bar and thenselect Network Diagram from the view menu.
Network Diagrams
Critical Path After entering task dependencies, we can find thecritical path for the Project Tracking Database project. What is the Critical Path? It represents the shortest possible time to complete theproject. How to represent the Critical Path? Open the Gantt Chart Wizard. Click Format on the Menu barand then select Gantt Chart Wizard.Select the Critical Path option. Click the Critical Path radio button.The critical path is represented in Red.
Gantt Charts A Gantt chart is a standard format for displaying project schedule information that lists project task and their corresponding start and finish dates in a calendar format. It shows each task as a horizontal bar with the length and position corresponding to the timescale at the top of the Gantt Chart.
