On the View menu, point to Table: Entry, and click Cost.

Viewing the Project’s Critical Path The critical path: A series of tasks that will push out the project’s end date if they’re delayed. It’s not the tasks that are most important.

Viewing the Project’s Critical Path The critical path will most likely change as your project progresses, and as you make scheduling changes. After a task is complete, it’s no longer critical. It’s done -- it can’t possibly delay the project any more (whew).

Viewing the Project’s Critical Path Critical path is in red (view – GANTT CHART, ZOOM ENTIRE PROJECT

View Resource Allocation Just like in the Gantt chart view, you can change the timescale using the Timescale command on the Format menu, or by using the zoom buttons on the Standard toolbar. View > Resource Graph shows resource allocations graphed against a timescale. The Resource Management toolbar is handy (View > Toolbars > Resource Management).
