Help! Baseline costs losing values.

Posted: 16 Jun 2004 12:16 PM PDT

Thanks for the reply. I apologize for the term Master
Schedule. Our Master Schedule is the only schedule.
What I meant to say was it is our master format for all
projects. Our schedule has no other schedules inserted
into it. All of our projects use a baseline type
schedule. On a weekly basis, we update actuals to
compare to baseline. Our problem is that when we enter
dollar amounts either via dynamic linking to excel or by
manual input and say save baseline, the costs ($) show a
zero value in the schedule. Should we just save schedule
as baseline with no values, enter values then save file
(do not save as baseline)? We want to have those initial
values for comparison to actuals. How do we go about it?

Thanks,
Rod

Thank you Rod
I will try to write the micro to copy the value from one
column file to the other. I have to clarify one thing
before doing this. I assume these two files does not have
to open together becasue both files are in the network
directory but it is password protected by two different
proeject managers therefore during editing one file may be
open and at the same time the other file might be closed?
Please advise

Resources Showing Overallocated for work already complete!

Posted: 16 Jun 2004 07:13 AM PDT

Hi Brian

Give in the work before June as Actual Work, not as Work (that was my point,
maybe you didn't notice) even if necessary 150 hours on May 31, and Sue will
not appear as overallocated on resource lists (only for that day of course).

some more insight. 
week to complete her tasks and remain on schedule. We start the project on
June 1st. Sue completes 150 hours of work within the 1st 2 weeks, and so it
appears as though she was overallocated by 70 hours (150 hours minus (-) 80
hours of allocated work). 
Sue did within the first 2 weeks that was not initially accounted for (she
completed it prior to June 1st)?

Resource Levelling problem

Posted: 16 Jun 2004 03:27 AM PDT

Hi Jan,
The problem is that, the execution of these groups of
tasks is dynamic, depending upon the availability of the
resource and the completion of its predecessor task.
let me take an example.
Suppose there is a group with 5 tasks with priority 250.
And there is a group with priority 300. The 300 priority
group could not be started because of its predecessor not
being completed. Meanwhile, the 250 priority group starts
off during this time. But after completing 3 of its 5
tasks, Project finds that the 300 priority group is
ready,because now it sees that its predecessor is
complete. So, Project stops the execution of the 250
priority group and jumps to the 300 priority group.
What i want is that, once a group has started, it should
run to completion before it moves to another group, even
if a higher priority group is ready for execution.
Can such a requirement be accomplished in Project ?
Hope i have made things clear.
Please let me know.
Thanks in advance,
Dilip.

Evan,

If you install the wgsetup feature on each user's pc, they will be
able to open and respond to Workgroup messages sent from MS Project.
The wgsetup.exe file comes on the Project installation disk.

How to show Holidays on a Gnatt chart??

Posted: 15 Jun 2004 08:51 AM PDT

Julie

I have set the standard calendar and checked that is is
set in Format->Timescales.
One further option in there - do i set the Draw: options
to: Behind Task Bar or In front of taskbar?

(Note: i'm only using one tier - it's a bit odd that the
one tier is the middle tier??)

In Tools-->Change Working Time I've set the 2-week shut
down period in the standard calendar as non-working time.

But when i then view the project - nothing!
No greyed out 2-weeks in the Gantt chart.

Any ideas?

Viewer for MPP Files?

Posted: 15 Jun 2004 06:44 AM PDT

Try Housatonic's Project Viewers:

They have two viewers: a PC based and a Web Server viewer.

Hope this helps



 

Displaying holidays in the Gantt chart

Hi,
There is a macro on my website as well; it groups consecutive holidays into
one task.

BCWP returns zero values

Posted: 15 Jun 2004 12:13 AM PDT

Hmmm, you've got me stumped on that one!

I am aware that MSP 2002 has the option of doing EV (BCWP) against the "Physical % Complete", but I'm not sure if there any additional options that have to be selected in order for it to start calculating. I presume that you have set the "Status Date"?

Sorry to be of absolutely no use to you on this one - but I just can't think of why BCWP would show zero values, when all the other EV data is there.

Should we used Project or Excel?

Posted: 14 Jun 2004 09:37 AM PDT

You might want to have a look at Task Manager 2005 (www.orbisoft.com) too.
It can be 'dumbed down' for the 'average' users by graying out most menu
functions depending on their log-on name.

Just following up - if you are using the desktop version,
you can run a report showing items due to complete within
your specified horizon. Then run it every morning or
whenever you wish, and distribute as you see fit. This is
not the automated process you describe, but may help. You
can do some VB work as well to launch emails, but this is
not out-of-the-box functionality.
