Working with task durations of minutes

Posted: 30 May 2005 06:05 AM PDT

Paul,

In Project go to "Tools", select "Options", view the tab titled "Schedule",
about 1/2 way down is a drop down menu for duration. You can select minutes,
but your whole project timeline will then be in minutes.

Please explain the relation between task type & effort driven.

Posted: 29 May 2005 06:26 PM PDT

In addition to the advice to check out Mike's site, remember that the Effort
Driven setting only has an effect when you're adding or taking away bodies
from the task resource assignment. If I have a task and already have one or
more resources assigned to it, the effort driven setting will control what
happens if I add another resource. If it's effort driven, the task duration
will shrink but the total man-hours stays the same. If it's non-effort
driven, the duration will stay the same but the total man-hours of work
required will go up. And the opposite occurs if I'm taking away resources
instead of adding them.

Task type controls what happens when you edit existing resource assignments
without adding to or taking away from the actual number of resources
assigned. It controls which one of the three terms in the resource
equation, Work=Duration*Units, you're want Project to hold constant when you
change one of the other two remaining terms for one or more of the resources
who are assigned.

Project will work, but Project Server will do even better for team
collaboration and communication.

Formula referencing a "NA" date field

Posted: 26 May 2005 09:40 AM PDT

Strange as it may seem, date fields that show "NA" do not contain a text
value. They actually contain a numeric value equal to 2^32 - 1.

I'm not aware of any products that do this - that doesn't mean they don't
exist but due to the nature of project work I doubt you'll find it in any PM
products.

How to save bar styles to use the same styles in other projects?

Paul,
There are a couple of methods for saving custom bar styles. One, create
your own custom views with the bar styles you want. Then use the
Organizer (Tools/Organizer) to save the custom view(s) into your Global.
A second similar approach is to create a project template that has all
the custom formatting you want. Then use that template as a basis for
new projects that you develop.

Hope this helps.

Project crashing on Startup

Posted: 25 May 2005 10:58 AM PDT

Hey Reid,

Thanks for the offer. I've just completed the M2732 project server class and
I will be taking the mcp test for it next month. We've worked with Microsoft
on bringing project server into our company a while back. Unfortunately we
had some budget cuts and we didn't have the money or resources to take on
that kind of initiative. It's something were very interested in. But it's not
the right time. I'm hoping it will be back on the plate next year.

Outputting Gantt Charts from Project 98

Posted: 23 May 2005 10:20 PM PDT

Jeff,

I used to do the following in this case (although I am using MS Project
2003, but it shouldn't differ when PDF):
1. I PDF file with Acrobat.
2. I use Solid Converter PDF to convert to MS Word.

It gives you the clarity of Word when printing a text lines, yet preserving
the bars and formatting (especially when grouped, with color lines).

Probably it is not the best solution, but I guess converting Word files into
other MS programs is heaps easier then PDF files.
