Tutorial Step 4: Create Tasks
A task is anything that needs to get done in order for the project to move toward completion. Each task has attributes such as start and end dates, a completion percentage, and resource assignments; these show up in the various columns of the task outline, and in the Task Information and Task Scheduling inspectors. Tasks can be grouped together, and a task can be dependent on other tasks.
For now, just create the tasks and name them. Select your first task and press the Return key once (or twice, depending on how your keyboard preferences are set) to create new tasks. If you still have a "Task 1" hanging around, you can just delete it or change its name. When you're done, if your milestone is not the last item, click the bullet to its left and drag it down to the bottom of the list.
Each task in the outline corresponds to a bar on the Gantt chart. Here we've listed all of the tasks needed to build our airplane.
