Microsoft Project 2021 From Beginners to Advanced - Add Lag or Lead Time

The video tutorial explains the concepts of lag and lead time in project management. It demonstrates how to add lag time to tasks when there is a delay and how to incorporate overlap time when tasks can be performed concurrently. The tutorial uses examples to show how these adjustments can be made in a project schedule, highlighting the importance of accurately reflecting task dependencies and timelines.

What is the purpose of adding lag time in a project schedule?

• To speed up the completion of tasks

• To increase the workload of the team

• To reduce the overall project duration

• To account for delays between tasks

How is lag time represented in a project timeline?

• As a negative value

• As a separate task

• As a reduction in task duration

• As additional days between tasks

What is the main difference between lag time and overlap time?

• Lag time is for resource allocation, overlap time is for task duration

• Lag time speeds up tasks, overlap time delays them

• Lag time delays tasks, overlap time allows them to overlap

• Lag time is used for task dependencies, overlap time is not

In the context of project scheduling, what does a negative value indicate?

• An overlap between tasks

• A delay in task completion

• A task that is not required

• A task that is completed early

Why might you choose to add overlap time to a project schedule?

• To delay the start of a task

• To enable tasks to start before their predecessors finish

• To ensure tasks are completed sequentially

• To allow tasks to be completed independently
