Display Task Relationships and Dependencies

You can view a Gantt chart that displays your Plan of Record (POR) project data or tentative schedule data that was created when you autoscheduled your project. This Gantt chart also displays graphical dependencies between all tasks in your project. The chart includes data from master and subprojects based on the current project's work breakdown structure (WBS). You can only open one Gantt chart at a time.

The following columns are displayed on the left pane:

Task

Displays the task's name.

ID

Displays the task's unique identifier.

Start

Displays the task's start date.

Finish

Displays the task's finish date.

Finish Variance

Displays the variation from the finish date, based on the following formula:

Finish Variance = Finish - Baseline Finish

ETC

Displays the task's estimated time for completion in hours.

Values:

• Actuals. Displays the actual hours posted against the task.
• Total Effort. Displays the total hours used, based on the following formula:

  Total Effort = ETC + Actuals
  

• % Complete. Displays the task's percent complete value.
