Hi,

That unfortunately is not a feature. Logical, since many tasks can have two
or more successors, other tasks may have no sucessors at all, so there is
not necessarily just one "the next in the order"
If you have a field that will determine the order you want to see, go to
Project, Sort, Sort by...
You probably will have to cross out "keep outline structure" and if so, you
shall also have to go to Tools, Options, View, and cross out "show summary
tasks".

How to manage tasks payment terms ?

Posted: 29 Apr 2004 09:46 AM PDT

You both have and haven't missed something. Project costs and your accounts
payable and receivable issues are two entirely different things. Project
tracks the former in order to help you estimate the project budget. It
tracks the accrual point to facilitate validation of the budget, estimating
cash flow requirements, and tracking progress against schedule and budget
through earned value analysis. The basic question it seeks to answer is
"how much will this cost our firm and does the ROI justify the expense?"
But it does not pretend to manage, nor in my opinion should one attempt to
use it, to track payables and receivables. Thats the job of an accounting
system, not a project management system. The budget is when the obligation
to pay is accrued, if you will, not when you actually write the check. I
may do a task today that I won't pay for until next week. Or I may have to
pay for a component in advance even though it won't be delivered until next
month. But the budget is hit with the cost today as I do the work or the
component is used - the money is effectively spent during the performance of
the work even though I may still have the funds in the bank for another
period of time or have released them before the work begins.

i need your urget help

Ruthie --

The process of estimating both Duration values and Work values is a bit
tricky. In fact, I refer to these values as "guesstimates" since I do both
"guessing" and "esimating" to come up with a number.

The Project Management Institute (PMI) recommends a "best practice" that
wherever possible, estimates should come from the team members who will
actually perform the work. I think you can see why this would be a "best
practice" in the estimation process:

1. You will draw upon the work experience of people who have performed the
task previously, which could make their estimate more reliable
2. You get "buy-in" from the person
3. Resources are more likely to report accurate progress on tasks in which
they provided the estimate

Therefore, in your scenario, I really can't tell you whether your Duration
estimates are accurate. Instead, I would recommend that you speak with your
team members and ask them for their estimates. If you cannot do this, then
I would recommend you speak with people who have worked on tasks like those
in the past. Hope this helps.

question, when assigning durations to a user testing acceptance(UAT), for a
project involving building a web server with overall project duration of say
4months, is 3days realistic to assign to this task. And also is 3 days
realistic to assign to d following task of training users? cheers

I'll be happy to plan your project for you for an appropriate professional
day rate plus airfare to your location, hotel, ground transportation, per
diem and other reasonable expenses. Typically costs and timeframe to
produce a viable plan usually run to about 25% of the total project timeline
and budget. Please advise your requirements.

Overallocated Resources

Posted: 28 Apr 2004 04:36 PM PDT

K. Bolton --

A resource overallocation occurs when a resource is schedule for more work
than they are available to perform in any time period, including as little
as a 15-minute time period. To determine where your resource
overallocations are occurring in your project plan, apply the Resource Usage
view, examine the overallocated resources and the time periods in which the
overallocations are occurring. You can also zoom in to smaller time periods
to see overallocations that occur in less than a full working day time
period. Hope this helps.

Ongoing Items on Gantt Chart

Posted: 28 Apr 2004 04:18 PM PDT

Hi Nicole,

Sorry but PMS Project is all about Projects.
Projects by definition have a start and an end, and all tasks are planned to
have a start and an end date.
Training never stops, but for instance "The 2004 program for Management
Development" does, it has tasks that are linked together, dates top respect,
resources to plan...

Activities with no start and no end cannot be planned in Project.
If you really need to show some, make them for instance "Training through
2005" which has start and en dates.
