Hi Everyone I'm very new to project management and pm software so I don't know the term for what I'm trying to do and then, more importantly, how to do it in MS project 2010. I guess it could best be described as putting in a decision tree with nodes where the project can go down different paths based on project results or other external and not predictable factors. How do i model this?
Here's one specific and simplified example
1 create PPC test campaign
1.1 create ppc test budget and ads
1.2 run PPC test campaign
2. Measure PPC campaign effectiveness
3. PPC is profitable
3.1 expand ppc camaign
4 PPC is not profitable
4.1 redesign and launch ppc-2
5. Measure PPC-2 effectiveness
6. ppc-2 is profitable
7. pcc-2 is not profitable
so steps 4 - 4.1 could not happen at all, or if they do happen, would require a repeat of steps 1, 1.1, 1.2, 2, ect. Also this could end up going through 10 iterations before steps 3 and 3.1 happen (the desired result for continuation of the project). what's the best way to handle this?
thanks in advance
