Practical 1 To understand the interface of MICROSOFT PROJECT Gantt Chart view

Its the view that appears first when you open a new project.It is a combination of spreadsheet data and a graphical representation of tasks; it offers a wealth of information in one place. Gantt Chart view has two major sections: the sheet pane and the chart pane. In Gantt Chart view (and any view with a sheet pane), you can change what information is shown in the sheet by using tables. Tables are preset combinations of columns of data that you can easily display by choosing View Table and then choosing a table (such as Entry or Cost) from the submenu that appears. Columns under Gantt Chart view include Task name, Duration,Start,Finish,Predecessors,Resource Names.

Generating tasks in Gantt Chart view

Many people who work on lengthy projects find that entering all task names in the sheet pane of Gantt Chart view is the quickest and easiest way to go.You can simply enter one task name in the Task Name column, press the down arrow on your keyboard to move to the next blank row, enter another task, and so on. Follow these simple steps to enter a task in Gantt Chart view: 1. In the Task Name column, click a blank cell. 2. Type a task name. You can edit what you type by clicking in the entry box above the sheet and pressing the Delete or Backspace key to clear characters (see Figure 41). You can also click the X and check mark buttons to the left of the entry box to clear or accept your entry. 3. Press the down arrow on your keyboard to move to the next cell in the column and then type the next task name. When you move to the next task cell, Project automatically assigns a sequential task number in the far-left column. This number is a handy way to identify tasks in larger schedules. 4. Repeat Step 3 until you enter all task names. You can display whatever columns you like in Gantt Chart view to enter additional task information, such as duration, type, start date, and finish date. To display additional columns, simply right-click any column heading, choose Insert Column, and select the column to display from the Field Name list. You can also use the Entry table (choose View Table Entry to display it) to access the most common task information columns. Producing tasks via the Task Information dialog box If dialog boxes provide the kind of centralized information form that fits the way you like to work, consider using the Task Information dialog box to enter task information. The series of tabs in this dialog box contain all the information about a task. Follow these steps to create a task via the Task Information dialog box: 1. In the Task Name column, double-click a blank cell. The Task Information dialog box appears, as shown in Figure 4-2. The General and Advanced tabs in this dialog box contain various timing settings for the task. 2. In the Name field, type a task name. 3. Click OK to save the new task. The task name appears in Gantt Chart view in the cell you clicked in Step 1. 4. Press the down arrow key to move to the next cell. 5. Repeat Steps 14 to add as many tasks as you like.

Adding milestones to project

The only tasks without duration are milestones. A milestone is a task of zero duration; in essence, it simply marks a moment in time that must be reflected in your Project outline. To create a milestone, you indicate that the task has zero duration. The quickest way to do that is to simply type 0 in the Duration column in Gantt Chart view. Or, you can click the Advanced tab of the Task Information dialog box and select the Mark Task as Milestone check box. When you do, the milestone is designated in Gantt Chart view with a black diamond shape rather than a task bar

To understand Work Breakdown Structure (WBS)

Project uses an outline structure to organize tasks in your project, as well as tools and functionality to help you build, reorganize, and view the outline structure. A task that has other tasks indented below it in this outline structure is a parent task, or summary task. The tasks indented below it are child tasks, or subtasks.

Outdentinga task moves it up a level in the outline (literally shifting it to the left in the outline). When outdented, a task is moved to a higher level of detail; in other words, its less detailed. Indenting a task moves it down a level in the outline (literally indenting the task to the right in the outline) and puts it at a deeper level of detail. To outdent or indent a task, follow these steps: 1. Click a task in a columnar view to select it. 2. Click the Outdent or Indent button according to what action you want to take. Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) codes can be generated automatically to give a unique identity to each task in your project by its order in the project outline. For example, the second task in the second phase of a project has a code of 1.2.2. This code helps you identify all tasks that belong to Phase 1, no matter at what level of the outline they might lie. 1. Click the Gantt Chart icon on the View bar. 2. Right-click anywhere in the column headings and then choose Insert Column. 3. Click the arrow for the Field Name drop-down list and then select WBS. 4. Click OK.

Practical 2 Using Waterfall model to draft project plan for upgrading MS Office 2003 to MS Office 2007

Waterfall model The waterfall model Is a sequential design process, often used in software development processes, in which progress is seen as flowing steadily downwards(like a waterfall) through the phases of conception,initiation, analysis, design, construction, testing, production/implementation and maintenance.

Practical 3 Using Incremental model draft project plan for software development of online gaming. Incremental model The incremental model is a method of software development where the model is designed, implemented and tested incrementally( a little more is added each time) until the product is finished. It involves both development and maintenance. The product is finished when it satisfies all requirements. This model combines the elements of the waterfall model with the iterative philosophy of prototyping. Analysis=>Design=>Code=>Test (Delivery of 1st increment) (Delivery of 2nd increment) (Delivery of 3rd increment) (Delivery of 4th increment)
