1 Introduction Microsoft (MS) Project is a project management tool used by many organizations within the Department of Defense (DoD). MS Project provides access to scheduling and resource data that program managers and other EVM professionals can use as part of an integrated program management approach for complex programs and projects. This job aid addresses the following features and functionality of MS Project: Part 1 MS Project Overview o Default screen layout o Analysis Gantt view o Split window view Part 2 Step-by-Step Instructions o Open MS Project files o Select view o Display additional information o Edit Analysis Gantt view o Filter data Things to Know Before You Begin Access to MS Project is provided by your individual organization. If you need access to MS Project, you must request access from your organization's system administrator (or other appropriate contact). Note: Your organization may use a different project management tool than MS Project. Check with the appropriate contact within your organization to confirm which tool you should use. The built-in Help functionality provides additional information about MS Project s features and functionality. You can access Help directly from within MS Project. 1. Select the Help icon on the MS Project Ribbon menu. EVM 202 September

2 MS Project displays the Project Help dialog box. 2. Enter the desired search criteria in the Search data field. 3. Select Search. OR 4. Select the File tab on the Ribbon menu. 5. Select Help from the File tab menu. EVM 202 September

3 MS Project displays the Project Help window. 6. Select the desired Help feature to access additional information. EVM 202 September

4 PART 1 MS Project Overview Default Screen Layout The default MS Project view displays a Gantt Chart view of the selected project in a single pane window. The Gantt Chart view is split into two portions: 1. Table view 2. Bar chart view The Tabs provide access to features and functionality that allow you to customize the way you manage and view your project's data. Each Tab has an associated Ribbon Menu with commands specific to the selected tab. EVM 202 September

5 The Status Bar at the bottom of the screen displays details about the active view, such as the scheduling mode or if a filter has been applied. Analysis Gantt View The Analysis Gantt view is similar to the default Gantt Chart view, but displays additional information on the bar chart portion. This view typically is preferred because it allows for the comparison of the baseline schedule to the current schedule. The Analysis Gantt view displays task information as text on the left in table form. On the right side, bars graphically represent schedule information related to each task. EVM 202 September

6 Table View The left side of the Analysis Gantt view displays task data in columns. This example displays: the Element Name, Task Finish date; Task Duration; Task Float days; and Task Slip days. Note: You may select different column data for the displayed tasks, depending on your needs (e.g., cost, critical path, predecessors, resource names, etc.). Bar Chart View The right side of the Analysis Gantt view displays task schedule data in bar chart form. The project timescale displays at the top, indicating the selected time divisions (e.g., days, months, quarters, years, etc.). Note: The timescale can contain one, two, or three tiers, each of which can be customized depending on your needs. In the previous example, the timescale displays the middle (e.g., Q3 '16) and bottom tiers (e.g., Jul, Sep, Nov). EVM 202 September

7 In this example, the project's current status date is indicated by a red dashed vertical line between Q3 '16 and Q1 '17. Note: You can also view the status date in the Status group on the Project tab. Each task's schedule is represented on the Bar Chart by two bars: the bottom bar represents the task's baseline schedule; and the top bar represents the task's current schedule. The length and position of the bars indicate each task's start and finish dates, duration, and status in relation to the timescale and status line. The dates on either side of each bar identify the task's current start and finish dates. Arrows between task bars display the task relationships. In these examples, a non-critical task is indicated by blue vertical stripes on the current schedule bar, and a critical task is indicated by a red fill on the current schedule bar. Non-Critical Task Critical Task EVM 202 September

8 Split Window View The Split Window view displays additional project information in the bottom pane of the MS Project window. The content in the bottom pane typically includes more detailed information for an item selected in the top pane. Task Usage View The Task Usage view, combined with the Analysis Gantt view in the split window, often is used as a tool for managing a control account plan. Task usage information displays for the selected task in the bottom pane. The Task Usage view is split into two portions: 1. Assigned resources for the selected task 2. Detail information for the selected task, and each of its assigned resources EVM 202 September

9 This example displays information about the Exhaust System summary task. The top pane displays the Analysis Gantt view, and the bottom pane displays the assigned resources and detailed resource information for the selected task: Develop Interface Specs Exhaust System. Assigned Resources The Assigned Resources section of the Task Usage view displays summary information about all of the selected task's assigned resources. This example displays the assigned resources for the Develop Interface Specs Exhaust System task, and their associated baseline work and work hours, and baseline cost and cost amounts. Note: You may select different column data for the displayed task, depending on your needs. EVM 202 September

10 Details The Details section of the Task Usage view breaks out information about all of the selected task's assigned resources across the program timeline. This example breaks out information about each resource for the Develop Interface Specs Exhaust System task. In this case, work, cost amounts, and baseline work hours are broken out from June through October. Note: You may select different detail data for the displayed task, depending on your needs. EVM 202 September
