Posted: 22 May 2004 04:46 PM PDT I think what you are trying to do is what Project does pretty well. Suggest the following steps: - create a methodology for your writing tasks eg Initiate, Plan , Execute, Close phase/summary- each with a few tasks therein.. You are the world expert on this. But keep it simple. - for each job you will bring (paste) in this template and populate under each phase as required. Just use one file at this stage. - all tasks within the template should be set As Soon As Possible, except the job start task, which you can hard- code - Each job will be its own network with its internal dependencies, and a completion milestone - Set all tasks to Fixed Work which YOU will perform. Set tasks for others to perfom as Fixed Duration, but I suggest you don't resource these tasks. Perhaps indicate who is responsible in the task name. - In your Gantt chart Right Click and Select gridlines, Current Date, and select a color to clearly show current date on the Gantt - Set up your barstyles to show % complete to the Summary level for each job. - Update progress on tasks regularly (weekly) and re- schedule those that you haven't completed. Golden Rule : is that there should be no incomplete tasks to the left of the current data line. Don't be bashful, if you haven't completed it, re-schedule it!! This is the key. You then have an operational plan, and something current to work with, and Project can help you set your priorities. If you get these basics right, then you will be using Project proactively, and then its many benefits will become apparent as the schedule unfolds. If you like email me at com and I will send a .mpt file set up for you to get started. Regards........Pratta another approach may want to see No IT's to completion.. Even the (putting out correct in my I've 'lost bono necessary for done, but no so much will like realistic timeliness to avoid Outlook & Office software. MONEY. so hung-up stupid compared to forms/styles/types of business have set |
Interpreting BCWP Caculation: Part II Posted: 22 May 2004 05:51 AM PDT Hi Verossa, Of course you can send it to me. You have my email address. NB : during our previous exchange, I never succeeded to send a file sample on you own email address : error messages. Gérard "Verossa" <microsoft.com> a écrit dans le message de news:com... It only contains one tasks, and I'm trying to understand how the tasks EVA information is derived. |
Posted: 21 May 2004 11:51 AM PDT Hi, Not just guidelines, but a function of the product called Resource Leveling. Tools, Resource Leveling. Read help on the different options.

I updated actuals, and rescheduled and resources were still not overallocated. I adjusted the work hours on one task and suddenly resouces who are part of that task became overallocated. |

Posted: 21 May 2004 09:35 AM PDT Hello JG, Haven't you any information at the top orand at the bottom of the tasks bars ?

Update actual daily work on behalf of resources Posted: 21 May 2004 06:51 AM PDT Doug -- Yes, you can do that, but that wasn't the original question from Mauro, who has Unit Managers who need to enter the actuals on behalf of the team members. -- Dale A.

Posted: 21 May 2004 03:41 AM PDT Thanks for replying guys... I've seen this help files but I don't understand how this translates into the BCWP figures when either in the earned value view or the exported excel data. I'll post a more specific question :-) Thanks again, Vers "Rob Schneider" <net.net> wrote in message news:phx.gbl... de any |
