Why Tasks Should be Banned from Project Scheduling Tools

"Why Tasks Should be Banned from Project Scheduling Tools" by Dan Patterson

My best friend and I meet up once every year and we invariably end up chatting about our mutual passion for project planning. His view is a little extreme but one with enough merit to warrant discussion: “Ban activities and tasks from scheduling tools…” he says. For those of you who use scheduling tools such as MS Project or similar, you will know this is verging on project planning blasphemy.
