In this MS Project tutorial, you will learn how to follow the progress of your schedule with several methods, you will discover tips for following complex projects of up to ten thousand tasks.

To get started, go to the View tab . In the Zoom section, click on 'Zoom to entire project' . This gives you an overview of your schedule.

Next, we'll create a filter to see all tasks that start before the status date. For that, go to the Filter tab and choose this filter . This simplifies task tracking.

However, to update progress, it is best to have an overview of the project, including critical milestones, to see the impact of changes. To do this, clear all filters .

To update the progress, select the relevant task, go to the Task tab and update the task's actual percentage of progress . You can even select multiple tasks at once.

To shift a task, you just need to click on the task in the Gantt chart, hold the click and move the task . See the impact on milestones by shifting tasks.
