Name the Task, and assign its duration. You can do so by double-clicking on the fields in the left pane of the Gantt chart, and then typing on your keyboard. Or simply drag and drop your tasks in the right pane of the Gantt chart to where you want them.
- You can also easily change a task’s start and finish dates. Either manually enter the data into the table, or drag the edge of the task to lengthen or shrink it in the graphical timeline view.
- Group Tasks into Phases. Use the Indent button
create project phases on the Home toolbar to subordinate a Task, thereby making the dominant item into a Phase. - To establish a relationship between Tasks, select two or more Tasks on the Gantt chart, and then click the Link button
to link project tasks on the toolbar. - The Gantt Chart also allows you to indicate a task’s priority level. Task colors can be used to highlight your tasks to draw attention to certain sections of your project.
