Project allows you to control what happens to task durations after you add to tasks.

Review and refine the duration estimates Use the information that you collect about your current project and similar projects to refine your duration estimates. The accuracy of your estimates for resource requirements and ultimately project costs depends largely on the accuracy of your task duration estimates.

Track resource progress Make sure the people on your project send in regular task status updates. The views and reports in Microsoft Project help you not lose track of what everyone is doing. Identify resource overallocation problems Project can help you identify when people are working on too many tasks at the same time.

Keep an eye on your baselines Baselines give you a snapshot of your project so that you compare current progress with what you planned at the beginning. Distribute work by leveling When people are working on too many tasks at the same time, Project can adjust assignments to a more realistic workload.

Leveling resource assignments is one way to even out the load. Export project data to Excel for further analysis Excel can help you when you need further analysis of Project information. For example, you can export task and resource information to Excel for advanced earned value reports, and then display the information using sparklines to see how costs are being spent relative to the amount of work completed.

Training current employees can be a cost effective way to improve performance than bringing in new people. Add people to your project. You need to add people as well as other resources before you can assign them to work on tasks. The other resources could include material resources like cement or paint, or cost resources like airfare and dining.

Change working days for the project calendar. Project assumes that most people work a standard week, Monday through Friday, 8 A. Add holidays and vacation days. We all need vacations. We all get sick.
