Summary

This chapter showed you how to manage resources in Microsoft Project, covering three main types: Work (people and equipment), Materials (measurable supplies), and Costs (travel expenses). It explained how to assign these resources to tasks. It also explained how to work with task types and how to use the three main task types appropriately when working with or scheduling tasks.

Now that you’re familiar with task types, let’s explore the next step: setting a baseline. This is essential for tracking your project’s development and managing adjustments effectively. In the following chapter, we’ll guide you through how to define and use a baseline to keep your project on track.
