23
Q

Explain the following concept: Lag time

A

A manually specified time break between predecessor and successor tasks

24
Q

Explain the following concept: Parent task

A

A project task with smaller tasks, referred to as child tasks, underneath it. Child tasks break down the work of a parent task into more manageable subsets. Certain fields for child tasks, such as planned end date, roll up and affect the same field in the parent task.

25
Q

Explain the following concept: Child task

A

A project task that is a subset of a larger task. Child task start dates cannot occur before the start date ofthe parent task.

26
Q

Explain the following concept: Rollup task

A

Another term for a parent task in the context of aggregating child task items, such as effort or resources, into a larger parent task calculation. All fields on rollup task forms are read-only.

27
Q

Explain the following concept: Roll down

A

State changes roll down from the project tasks, and from parent tasks to child tasks

28
Q

What is a milestone

A

A mileston is a project task with a duration of 0. This can be used to indicate important dates and can also be used for dependencies such as not allowing a task to start until a certain milestone has been reached.

29
Q

What is a Gantt chart

A

This is a visual representation of a project timeline that shows start and end dates of tasks, and the dependencies between tasks.

On the chart you can add and delete tasks, change task dates and dependencies, and assess the progress of the overall project.

You can also use My Gantt to create the custom Gantt charts to find and track a list of specific projects.
