Insert a Split Between Actual Work and Remaining Work

Microsoft Project inserts an automatic split between the actual work and the remaining work on a task. The split is invisible on the Gantt Chart, by default, because there is no gap between the actual work and remaining work. If you have resources that are interrupting work on a task, and you need to reschedule the remaining work to a later date, you can create a gap between the actual work and remaining work on a task by moving the remaining portion of a task.

To insert a split between actual work and remaining work

1. On the View Bar, click Gantt Chart .
2. In the chart portion of the view, position the pointer over the incomplete part of the task you want to split.
3. Drag the task bar to the right to split the task and have a portion of it start later.
   Do not drag the finished portion of the task. If you drag the finished portion of the task, you’ll move the entire task.
