MS Project - Track Progress MS Project Once your project plan is ready in MS Project, it becomes essential for a project manager to measure the actuals in terms of work completed, resources used and costs incurred and to revise and change information about tasks and resources due to any changes to the plans.Ī Project Manager should not assume that everything is progressing according to plan and should always keep track of each task. In the following example, Assign Resources is the project summary task identified as Task 0. In the Gantt Chart view, you can also look at the project summary task, to note the duration, start and finish dates of the plan. We can also assign other material resources to the same task. In the Task Form view, click under the Resource Name column and select the resource. The window is split in two, Gantt Chart view and Task Form view below it. Select the resource from the dropdown list. Click the cell below the Resource Name column. You can also select multiple resources to work on a single task. In the following screenshot as an example. From the dropdown, choose the resource name.



Click the box below the Resource Name column for the task you need the resource to be assigned. With MS Project you can track task progress, resource and tasks costs.
