Summary Task showing duration

Posted: 14 Jun 2004 07:37 AM PDT


Cheryl,
That's a simple one. There are 9 working days from 6/21/04 to 7/2/04.
The duration of a summary line is simply the difference in working time
between the earliest start date and the latest finish date of the
subtasks under the summary.

Hope this helps.

Resources/Projects View?

Posted: 13 Jun 2004 03:46 PM PDT

David --

If you are using Project Professional 2003 with Project Server, you could do
the following:

1. Open a new blank project
2. Use the Build Team from Enterprise wizard to select the resources whose
projects you wish to see
3. Save the project as an enterprise project in the Project Server database
4. Apply the Resource Usage view

The Resource Usage view will now show each resource, along with each project
to which the resource is assigned. Hope this helps.

Deadlines and Constraints

Posted: 13 Jun 2004 01:20 PM PDT

Hi Dave,
I'd use "Finish No Later Than"
It is better than "Must Finish On" - reality is that finishing early is
definitely allowed :-)
However, beware, as I said, Project will then always show a "good" date for
the finish of the final task.
Personally, I include a column "Total Slack" which is your buffer and
becomes negative as soon as you're late versus the due date.

no tomorrow. And in order for our executives review proposals before they
are submitted, I must establish hard review dates. My question is then, How
do I tell Project that these particular dates cannot float? I don't care
about resource units or work. I have to set certain dates. These projects
are controlled by the end date.

Setting task duration to minimum number of days

Posted: 12 Jun 2004 12:49 AM PDT


Richard,
I apologize for a slight error in my earlier post. For the macro
approach, the code needs to find the delta duration from task start to
the end of the first day if the Start time is later than 8:00:00. This
fractional day duration should then be added to the nominal 3 day
duration. No change is made to the Start time because everything is set
by the modified Duration.

Assigning groups

Posted: 11 Jun 2004 05:14 PM PDT

HI,

In the assign dialog box you can select multiple resources (hold the Ctrl
key down, then drag them all together onto one or more tasks. In addition
you can copy the contents of the Resource Names column to other tasks so
duplicating the assignments. This is especially useful if you have different
people at different units.

Tasks that require multiple resources at the same time

Posted: 11 Jun 2004 02:32 PM PDT

It IS the best solution, Julie.
But for a longish workaround through leveling, it is the ONLY solution.

Editing hours in Usage Views

Posted: 11 Jun 2004 06:41 AM PDT

Hi,

Well yes, you can do that, and you can enter remaining work for each of the
assignments, no problem.
My question was why stop Project from rescheduling the remaining work?
Note: if you enter reemaining work for both assignments, Project will not
recalculate that, but it may reschedule it (not the same thing)

for each task for each week. Every week I am given an update of the Actual
Work and sometimes, an adjustment of the remaining work. However, if I have
2 or more resources assigned to a task, I find that the work may not be
distributed correctly. For example a task that is estimated for 40 hours
may require Jim to be assigned for 30 and Jane for 10, but may actually be
20/20. The only way that I have figured so far to do this is by updating it
manually in a Time Scaled Task or Resource usage view... Any suggestions?

Project Training?

Posted: 11 Jun 2004 04:06 AM PDT

If you look around on the net, you may still be able to find a set or
the Keystone Learning Systems CD's on Project. Unfortunately, we only
did up through Project 2000. There is almost 8 hrs of material on
these CD's, and they are very thorough. I know, because I did them.
They would probably still help someone new to project considerably.
They are not just "push button" instructions, but contain quite a bit
of information about Project Management based on my experience as a PM
and PM consultant for a combined 20 years.
The first couple of hours are an introduction to Critical Path
Scheduling, something I feel you have to have passing knowledge of to
properly use MS Project (or any other scheduling software). There's a
lot of good stuff in them.
Best of luck.
