Lesson Summary, Point No. 7:

"You can print Gantt Charts and Network Diagrams, and
each offers print options, including what dates to print."

But in actual scenario, the option of "Timescale (what dates to
print)" is available with Gantt chart only and not with the Network
Diagram.

Exercise 3


Exercise 3, Step 1.
There is one too many opening parenthesis
((Optimistic + Pessimistic + (4*Expected))/6

should be:

(Optimistic + Pessimistic + (4*Expected))/6


Same goes for step 3 and 4

Exercise 3


Exercise 3 step 8

"Expected" should be "Estimated"
On page 62, Step 8. of Exercise 3 uses an incorrect term.

Change:
"Note that the Expected Duration is 13 days."

To:
"Note that the Estimated Duration is 13 days."

Last Paragraph

The "Work: eight hours" for the changed scenario should be "Work: 16 hours". Changing the number of painters should reduce the duration, not the work.

Creating Cost and Resource Budgets section

This section (and associated Exercise 5) should be rewritten to follow more closely with this Microsoft video (which is much more clear on describing the subject): http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/project-help/watch-this-create-a-budget-HA010275127.aspx

Step 6.


Step 6. specifies wrong information order.

It says:
In the ID column, type the name of the master project followed by the task ID number of the external predecessor followed by a backslash


It should be:
In the ID column, type the name of the master project followed by a backslash followed by the task ID number of the external predecessor

Case Scenario 4: Answer 3.


In explanation #4 for Case Scenario 4.

The last statement end with:
"forces Project to increase the task duration to four days"

it should be:
"forces Project to increase the task duration to eight days"

The scenario stated that a resources working two days (16 hours)
is reduced to 25% units (2 hours).
So, it takes 8 days to reach 16 hours
