Network Diagram and descriptive Network Diagram ins MS PROJECT 2010

 

Hi,

this will be a short one!

I will show two Views in MS PROJECT 2010, network Diagram and descriptive Network Diagram!

Log time ago I was using The Wedding Project for my examples. It looks like this:

If you want to see Tasks in network diagram (with dependencies, and resources) you should use:

and I will get:

You can see different shapes for different Tasks types!

I have:

  • Task Name
  • Task Start date (estimated)
  • Rask Finish date (estimated)
  • Task ID
  • Task duration (estimated)
  • % complete

Notice the minus/plus sign above Summary Tasks. If I click on the minus sign all Tasks below summary Tasks will disappear from the Diagram, like this:

You can get your subtasks back by clicking on the plus sign on the summary Task.

Another Network diagram is Descriptive Network Diagram:

image

and then:

image

and I will get:

It seems like it is same as previous Diagram. But it is not! It contains Description like: Project summary, Noncritical summary, Noncritical Task, etc. So you now what “kind” of Task are you dealing with!

If you double click on the Task you will see:

image

so you can DIRECTLY update task information from that Diagram!

 

Nice thing, isn’t it?
