Ask the experts: 5-hour knowledge exchange marathon on 'Critical Path and Baseline' in Zoho Projects.

Hey folks!

We are happy to be back with our “ Ask the Experts ” community series. The Ask the Experts initiative for this month focuses on “Critical Path and Baseline” as it has invited many a query.

Some of the topics that relate to the discussion are:

1. Is there a way to see the bottleneck of any project?

2. Project ABC is not going ahead because of Task 3 in Milestone 2 whose owner is Mr. X.

3. How do I track changes in my project schedule? I plan a schedule and if the dates change midway, is there a way to track changes and compare with the original scheduled dates? Basically fix a baseline and then compare it with the current project schedule.

4. Can I compare the original timeline projection with the actual timeline of the project in the Gannt Chart? When I change the dates and times in an already defined project, I would like to graphically view my Planned time vs the Actual time.

This platform brings together product experts, the Zoho partners and other techies who will be able to provide expert guidance for five full hours .

Go ahead and begin posting them as comments below; our Product experts will address them once we're live.

We'll be live on May 29th , between 6 AM to 11 AM (PDT) | 1 PM to 6 PM (GMT) .

If you are up to helping out your peers, do jump in with you expert answers! The more, the merrier :) Talk to you all soon!

Note : This is NOT a webinar. It is a discussion on Zoho Projects forums where our experts will field your queries for five hours straight. To post your queries, hit reply to the post and start typing away!
