Calculations

Posted: 18 Jun 2004 06:46 AM PDT

To start, can you tell us how planned % complete would be calculated?
Based on duration? work? From which baseline? What about tasks without a
baseline? Any limitations on the tasks which should have this number? Should
it be calculated based on current date or from status date (I recommend
status date)? Any other conditions that the calculation needs to take into
account?

If you can supply answers to those questions then writing the code is fairly
straight forward.

Baseline Work - wrong total

Posted: 17 Jun 2004 10:47 AM PDT

Dale, I had thought that also, however there are no resources in this
document the work was estimated directly without assigning resources...

Project 2000/Global Template for Many PMs

Posted: 17 Jun 2004 07:42 AM PDT

My thoughts exactly but I thought I'd ask about a magic bullet. Thanks for all your help.

approvals for actual hours?

Theoretically, each task in a project could have a different project
manager, though that simply is not practical. To set up a project so that
multiple managers can each manage a section of a project, do the following:

1. Project manager #1 opens the project and clicks Collaborate - Publish -
All Information
2. PM#1 saves and closes the project

This step makes PM#1 the manager of every task in the project, and all task
updates from resources will be sent to him/her by Project Server.

3. PM#2 opens the project and selects only those tasks that he/she will
manage
4. PM #2 clicks Collaborate - Publish - Republish Assignments
5. In the dialog, PM#2 chooses "Selected items" from the pick list at the
top of the dialog
6. PM#2 selects the "Become the manager for these assignments" option and
clicks OK
7. PM#2 saves and closes the project

This sequence of steps makes PM#2 the manager of only the selected tasks,
and all task updates for resources on the selected tasks will be redirected
to PM#2 by Project Server. Each additional PM will need to complete steps
#3-7. Hope this helps.

Hours on a project

Posted: 17 Jun 2004 07:23 AM PDT


Thanks I think i am on the right track,

Now i just have a question about how the hours are calculated, Some time
the projects have the correct hours and other times really night, it looks
as if they have Too many hours.

Any ideas as you helped a great deal for my first question :)

Cheers,

Wayne

Resource usage based on time estimate

Posted: 16 Jun 2004 11:00 AM PDT

Thank you both.

Fixed Work does seem closer to what I'm trying to do. The only problem I
have now is that it adjusts the units when I add another resource, but that
happens less often. Fixed units for adding resources, and fixed work the
rest of the time seems like it would be the best for me. Maybe I'm just a
control freak! ;-)

I did some reading on assigning and editing resources, and still didn't find
a way to do it using hours instead of % usage, so I am keeping track of
hours in the notes field. Not perfect, but I can make it work for now.
