Hi, I’m new here, have just discovered what I hope will be a very useful online resource!!I have a question about task scheduling, current plan I’m working on has (for example)
Task 1 – place order, 1 day, 15 Apr
Task 2 – order delivery process, 60 days
Task 3 - delivery milestone, 0 days, 4th August
Now task 1 is today, task 3 is 4th August which is a greater elapsed time than the 60 days delivery, delivery is 3rd party and I don’t care now they split the task just that delivery is not before 4th August. How can I show this in project, in putting a FNET date of 4th August onto task 3 it’s just slipping the start date and making it a critical taks which obviously it’s not. I’ve tried adding my own splits but whatever I do the task is appearing as critical?
Any help much appreciated.
Thanks.
