How do I sum resource hours into a group summary?

Posted: 11 Mar 2005 11:39 AM PST

right click on the right pane in resource usage, add 'cumulative work' field

This gives cumulative work; you have to manually subtract the previous
quarter figures to get the figure for just that quarter.

Or export to excel.

Maintain budget constraints with new activities

Posted: 11 Mar 2005 08:43 AM PST

John - thanks for the quick reply! I do appreciate the feedback. I think we
are attempting to lay out the detail tasks for the near term, but are looking
for a mechanism within MS Project to manage it. I think establishing those
issue budgets I mention addresses the "planning packages" idea you mention.

In our case, we know our resource budgets and the work that is currently on
our plate. We have established a means for prioritizing the work and are
finalizing high-level estimates for the work. We fully expect to see far
more work than we have resource availability and have gone through the effort
to establish what % of each resource's time is available for these
issues/CRs, as many of them will also be doing ongoing customer support and
tech support activities.

I guess my question was less about how to maintain budget constraints as to
how best to programatically administer the scenario I mentioned in MS
Project, keeping the consideratios you mention in mind.

Project Plan in Minutes

Posted: 11 Mar 2005 08:19 AM PST

Hi Kai,

You're welcome.

Just a word of caution. Typing in start and finish dates/times constrain
the tasks. If you enter in a start date/time for a task in a project
scheduled from a fixed start date (in Project>Project Information) you are
setting a Start No Earlier than constraint. Typing in a finish date/time for
a task sets a Finish no earlier than constraint. As much as humanly possible
you want to set the Start Date of the Project (Project>Project Information),
enter your task durations (you can enter in minutes if you choose) and then
link the tasks together to drive the start date/time of the sucessor tasks.

I assume you also changed your calendar (Tools>Change Working Time) to set
Sunday as a working day?

Hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.

Changes to baseline

Posted: 11 Mar 2005 07:39 AM PST

In essence the scope of a task is the deliverable the task produces. If you
have multiple resources assigned and it's even possible that the scope can
change for just one of them but not the others, that suggests they are all
producing different deliverables. That in turn suggests that you have
combined what really should be listed as completely separate and distinct
activities into one task and your WBS has not been sufficiently decomposed
into its activities. If you breakout the resource's task from the others,
listing them all as distinct activities, rebaselining that one task when its
scope changes becomes very simple.

Overall project duration

Create a Summary Task and indent right the two inserted summary project
plans. The summary task will give you the total duration.

Project ressource pool

Posted: 10 Mar 2005 11:53 PM PST

Stian,
The solution is quite simple :
The problem comes from the fact that you assigned each resource twice :
- On each elementary task (task's OK)
- On the summary of elementary task (That's too bad !)
What version of project are you using ? Normally, 2003 avois this kind of
problem...
So :
Select a summary of reccurent task (which has a small + sign)
In the Assign Resource dialog, select the resource and click Remove.

Hi,
In the real world, "Fixed Duration" logique is very rare.

Filtering subtasks

Posted: 10 Mar 2005 03:57 PM PST

John,

Thanks. This worked great. I have one more issue with this. I
created a new view to only show a certain number of fields. When I
apply this filter to that view, I can see the parent summary tasks, but
everything is inline. Is it possible to somehow keep the indenting of
the subtasks when it does the filter?

thanks,
Scott

Hi Viola,

This newsgroup is specifically for matters dealing with Microsoft Project.
I suggest you try to find a more appropriate newsgroup that deals with
PowerPoint problems.

Could you please tell us what led you to chose this newsgroup? We would
really like to know! :)

Report Help

Posted: 10 Mar 2005 11:10 AM PST

Hi Scott

wouldn't bother with a "report" per se, i would just use the Task Sheet view
(view / more views / task sheet) then as it's better to create a new table
rather than modify the existing tables i would choose view / table: entry /
more tables / copy - call the new table "Report Table" and then delete the
rows that i don't want to see in the print out ... (also tick show in menu)
.... once the tables have been deleted click OK and APPLY. This table will
now be shown in the Task Sheet view ... now use the Autofilter or filter box
to filter out the tasks you don't want to see (if you're doing this on a
regular basis you can insert a new column and filter based on that) and then
print it out.

Hope this helps
Cheers

Error when copying picture to word or using the WBS Visio Wiizard

Posted: 10 Mar 2005 06:05 AM PST

Hi Mike,

Sorry if I did not make myself clear.
I am using Project standard 2003.
When I try to use the wizards on the analysis tool bar to export data to
word for example when I want to inlcude my project data in a document I get
the error below.
The same is true when I try to create a WBS using the visio wizard from the
same toolbar.

Thanks
