How to Edit a Project Task List

Making a list of project tasks is the start point of project scheduling. It includes is the outline of tasks that need to be done to fulfill the project’s goals and to achieve the acceptable result. Before a project team can go ahead, they need a list of the tasks to implement, from the project start to the project end. Once you have created a list of project tasks that need to be carried out, you may need to fine-tune your project schedule in more detail by indenting or out-denting tasks, entering task duration, and setting dependencies between project tasks. For example, you have 2 tasks that you would like to link together. You are able to link them, by selecting the tasks and then using the Link icon. And now you need to add lag time between 2 tasks. Follow the steps below to set up a lag between tasks.

  1. Open your ConceptDraw PROJECT file.
  2. Select the linked task you want to lag.
  3. setup-lag-between-tasks
  4. Open the Links panel.
    On Windows — the one can find out it in the View tab, at the Panels button panels-button-project drop-down menu.
    On macOS — the Task panel is activated using the Info button info-button-project-mac on Main Toolbar.
  5. Then set days for lag using the Predecessors tab.
  6. setup-lag-between-tasks

Result: Now you can polish your project schedule in details using ConceptDraw PROJECT capabilities.
