Microsoft Project 2021 From Beginners to Advanced - Delay a Task

The video tutorial explains how to manage resource over-allocation in project planning by using tasks 10 and 11 as examples. It highlights the importance of predecessors in organizing schedules and introduces the Leveling Gantt view for better task management. The concept of E days, which includes both working and non-working days, is explained. The tutorial demonstrates how to adjust task delays to manage resources effectively, ensuring tasks do not overlap unnecessarily.

What is the main issue with tasks 10 and 11 in the project plan?

• They are over-allocated to the same resource.

Why is it important to have predecessors for tasks?

• To assign more resources to tasks.

• To increase the duration of tasks.

• To organize the schedule and manage resource allocation.

• To ensure tasks are completed in parallel.

What additional information does the Leveling Gantt view provide?

• Project milestones and deadlines.

• Resource costs and budget allocation.

• Task dependencies and critical path.

• Leveling delay and task successors.

What does the 'E' in E days stand for?

• Elapsed

• Estimated

• Exclusive

• Extended

Why did task 11 still overlap with task 10 after setting a 10 E days delay?

• The delay was not applied correctly.

• Task 10 was extended unexpectedly.

• E days include weekends, which were not accounted for.

• Task 11 has a higher priority.
