Not really. And conceptially that would be tricky to pull off. Projects always produce a deliverable of some sort at the end, creating it is what the project is all about. All of the tasks in the project contribute content to that deliverable. If any component of the deliverable isn't finished, the deliverable itself isn't finished either. So if any task isn't done, the project isn't done. As a result, all tasks are equally important because they all have to be completed, without exception, for the project to be successful. Now I can see a weghting applied that says "if we have to make a choice, we want task X to be done before task Y" but that's a different issue than 'task importance' and is handled by the task priority setting - task information, general tab - where higher numbers indicate those tasks are more important to have finish early than lower numbered tasks if it turns out they're competing for resources and can't happen together.

I have 3 main sections in my project plan. Each one has adifferent weighting
of importance to the overall project. I have looked at Pert Analysis, but
this is not what I am looking for. Is there a way of weighting task
importance as a % of the total project?
