Tasks identify the work required to complete a project. Tasks have a start date, an end date and a period in between when the work is performed. Milestones are tasks that have a due date but not a duration. Generally speaking, project managers assign tasks to staff and set milestones to measure their progress.
You can create and manage project tasks and assign staff to them. Define all of the project's tasks to start and complete within the project's start and finish dates. You can also create a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) for your project tasks and view resource utilization by task assignment.
In addition, you can use Autoschedule to create and publish an automated schedule based on task constraints and dependencies that you create. Autoschedule is designed to eliminate or minimize the over allocation of resources. It is particularly useful when you want to update the project schedule after you or others have made small, quick changes to it. You can review your changes before publishing them and accordingly arrive at a practical result.
