Microsoft Project 2013 gives you the option of scheduling tasks manually or letting Project use the scheduling engine. Manual scheduling is beneficial early in the project when high-level target dates are known, but the detailed tasks and timing are unknown. In this tutorial you will learn the following:

1. Insert a task between existing tasks
2. To quickly create a task, go to the Gantt Chart, select an empty Task Name field at the bottom of the task list, and then press Enter.
3. Select Manually Schedule on the Task tab to schedule your task manually.
