Figure 7.20: Project Summary Taskīesides, just in the very beginning, it is of high importance to check “Critical Tasks” and “Slack” under the “Format” tab (Figure 7.21). The question mark at the end of the duration shows that the duration is estimated. MS Project gives the row number zero to the project summary task. When we start a new project on Microsoft Project, it is useful to check “Project Summary Task” under the “Format” tab. In this exercise, we have added different dependencies (not only F-S), lags (a positive number showing a delay), and leads (a negative number showing an earlier start). The exercise in Table 7.5 has the same activities, durations, and predecessors as the exercise we used to develop a network diagram.

I had been skeptical that the reason the dotted lines were showing were because they were split tasks as I had never split any of them myself, but after some draggin out the lines, that did seem to be the problem.Interest/Adoption Form and Feedback/Report FormĬhapter 1. I tried you link but it just lead me back to this forum post. The leading split mentioned earlier was caused by a bug and has been resolvedīy insuring the latest Cumulative Update is applied to whatever version of Project you are using. Splits can be introduced manually by the user (Task/schedule group/split icon), they can be the result of leveling and probably some other instances that don't come to mind right now.

There are also cases where a leading "split" can occur if an assignment doesn't track with a task (a bug). The "dotted lines" represent splits in tasks.
