Creating a Task List using MS Project ( 7 Videos)

The Project Plan is developed task by task. All tasks for a project are identified and entered in the task sheet in order. We can also insert tasks between existing tasks and delete any non-required task. Tasks are easiest to enter in Gantt view but can also be entered, inserted and deleted in other views like Network Diagram.
