Develop strategies for organizing your tasks   There is no one "right way" to organize your tasks. Depending on your working style and that of your team, you can create your task outline by using a few different methods.

 Enter tasks into your project   To get your project underway, you need to add tasks.

• Enter tasks into a project

 Enter budgeting information into your project   Early in your project design, you may want to enter cost limits in order to specify the maximum amount of money, work, or materials for the project.

• Create a budget for your project

 Structure the task list    You can use outlining to organize the tasks into a hierarchy of summary tasks and subtasks that reflects the structure of phases, subphases, and individual tasks in your project.

• Structure the task list by outlining

 Change the view of phases and subtasks   Microsoft Office Project 2007 provides several ways to display your project's existing structure.

Click all of the following that apply:

• Show or hide subtasks to collapse or expand your outline to the level that you want to view. You can also specify the number of outline levels to show.
• Show or hide summary tasks to display summary information about the entire project on a single row.
• Display outline numbers to view the tasks organized into a numbered outline that is based on their places in the hierarchy.

 Use work breakdown structure codes   If you want to show work breakdown structure (WBS) codes, you can use the existing structure in your project or create a custom WBS code mask to specify the structure of WBS codes when you create tasks.

Click all of the following that apply:

• Display work breakdown structure codes to add a WBS field that shows the WBS code for each task in your project.
• Create a work breakdown structure code if you want to create your own WBS code mask that specifies the structure of WBS codes for your project. For example, you can create custom WBS codes to match your customer's WBS codes.
• Renumber custom work breakdown structure codes when you move or delete tasks and you want to reset the custom WBS field so that your tasks match the new structure.

 Add supporting information about a task   You can add a note, attach a document, or create a hyperlink to clarify the organization of your project.

Click all of the following that apply:

• Add a note to a task, resource, or project to include a small amount of information directly in your project. Also, you can add a file from another program to a project note.
• View and upload documents if you want to link supporting documents by using Microsoft Office Project Server 2007.
• Create inter-project dependencies and deliverables with Project Server 2007 to include information about your project that other projects in your organization may depend on.
