Gant Chart !

Posted: 08 Jul 2004 01:03 PM PDT

Hi John,
I figured out how to fix it, but thanks anyway.
The reason why is was doing that is because I had assigned a resource calendar (24hr shift) to the resource that I was using for that task, which was different from the standard task calendar(7:30 PM to 5:00 PM). When I assigned the standard calendar including the oprion of "Scheduling ignores resource calendars" in the advanced tab of task information dialog box, it fixed fixed the gantt bar problem. I realized that I had a few other cases with the same problem.

Now my question is: Is there a way to delete a resource calendar that has been created?

Thanks again!
AK

Salaried Resources

Posted: 08 Jul 2004 11:29 AM PDT

IMO, you're mixing up "resource costs" with "project costs." Project
calculates the marginal cost of doing the project, not the costs to the firm
of employing the resource and in terms of the costs of actually doing the
project work, prorating employment costs to an hourly rate and multiplying
it by the man-hours the resource actually works of project tasks is the
correct way to figure them. If I have Bob for one month (160 work hours) at
a cost to the the firm of $5000 in salary, etc for that month, and I use him
100% (all 160 of them), he has cost my project budget $5000. But if I only
use him 50%, 80 hours, he has been doing something else for those other 80
hours. My budget should reflect $2500 and whoever used those other 80 hours
should have the other $2500 in their budget, not mine. If he wasn't doing
anything at all, then we need to put the $2500 into the general overhead
costs of the firm and have a serious talk with the HR manager about our
staffing practices.

Task Duration in Seconds?

Posted: 08 Jul 2004 09:55 AM PDT

Thanks for the ideas! I am currently doing the minutes-to-
seconds conversion. Thought someone might have other
ideas. Also have a rather clumsy Excel program that does
work in seconds. However it is no where near as flexible
as Project.

How to reduce resource units from 135% to 100%

Posted: 08 Jul 2004 08:47 AM PDT

Hi,

I may have good news for you.
Sometimes Project SHOWS a number of units calculated from a value entered as
actual work for a period (this would be for instance 10.8 hours on an 8
hours day) yet the work values for the remaining work are calculated based
on the original units.

If this is the case, do nothing (it is admissible that you cry in silence
over such curious logic).
:-))

Showing critical path

Posted: 07 Jul 2004 11:02 PM PDT


Fredrik,
Summary lines should NOT show up on the critical path because they are
not performance tasks, or at least should not be performance tasks.
Normally, (except in very specific circumstances), summary lines do not
have resources assigned and therefore there is no work performed on
them. That being the case the summary line is not part of the critical
path.

Summary lines should also NOT have predecessors or successors. Although
Project allows it, putting links on summary lines will cause more
problems (mostly unintended results) then it is worth.

Hope this helps.
John

Unhiding Columns

Posted: 07 Jul 2004 09:38 AM PDT

Hi,

In Project as well, you can set column with to zero (to really "hide" the
column) and grab it again later.
