Questions & answers for MS Project software
I understand the fixed work, or fixed duration or fixed unit tasks and their differences.
But how does the option of "Effort Driven" fit into these? It is there as an additional option to check. But as I understand effort driven is the same as fixed work, or what am I missing here?

Dear,
I have a project with 6 phases each has different contractual completion dates and liquidated damages. But all phases are inter-related. I consider they should have their own critical path.
It means the programme should have 6 critical paths.
What should I do?
I use subprojects to link them together in a separate project then it will show 6 critical paths?
Regards,
Gary Lo
Is it possible in MSP for activity durations to extend when the project runs late?
I'm trying to show the Project Management activity extending when the project is delayed, and showing an increase of hours required.
I've tried using a Finish - Finish link from the Finish milestone to the Project Management activity but the duration / hours didn't increase.
This is to demonstrate how all disciplines can be affected when the project is late, without having to update it manually.
Thanks
I have a simple activity that has a completed predecessor and the successor is FS. My data date is 9/1/17 with 1 day remaining on a standard 5 day calendar with no holidays. Why is project calulating the finish date as 9/7/17, as opposed to 9/4 or 9/5?
I need to roll up physical or work % complete to a summary activity in MS Project. I am normally a primavera user so I am learning as i go, but I cannot find a good way to do this.
