How does the Microsoft Project Server calculate slack when you have multiple projects linked
together to a master project acting as a program?
A.
Microsoft Project Server finds the due date of milestones and calculates backwards based on early
start between projects.
B.
Microsoft Project Server only uses project completion dates to determine when the next project
may begin.
C.
Microsoft Project Server calculates slack by subtracting Early Finish from Early start.
D.
Microsoft Project Server cannot calculate float or slack between linked projects.
Explanation:
Microsoft Project Server can use the scheduled completion of milestones within projects of a
program to calculate the slack and critical path. When a project is running late, for example,
Microsoft Project Server can predict the effect of a late project and successor projects and activities.
Answer option C is incorrect. This is one part of the formula to find the slack or float for an individual
activity.
Answer option D is incorrect. Microsoft Project Server can find float and critical path calculations for
a program.
Answer option B is incorrect. Microsoft Project Server can evaluate projects that are linked together
in a master project.
