Microsoft Project - How do I put a task in without a date?

[Shannon]

I am a construction project manager and often I have tasks that I want to
track but they do not have an actual date. How do I put them on the schedule
without a date?
Or should I track those tasks somewhere else?

 

[Mark Durrenberger]

What is the nature of the task you are tracking that does not have a date?

Mark

The nicest thing about NOT planning is that failure
comes as a complete surprise and is not preceded by
a period of worry and depression.

Amplifying on Mark's question ... a "task" is a piece of observable physical
activity, something tangible being done by a resource. They always occur at
some exact time in the project whether or not you actually have designated
that time in advance on a schedule. You may have a situation where as long
as they are done sometime before the project finishes you'll be fine and so
their schedule is very flexible but that's a far cry from saying they don't
have dates associated with them at all.
