resource start date problems

Hello Rob,

"RobR" <com> a écrit dans le message de

Did you create a finish to Start (FS) link from A to B ?
If yes, and B still doesn't move, check that B has not any Real Start nor %
Complete. Erase these 2 values.
 

Run a resource leveling : Tools / Level Resources... / Leveling can adjust
individual assignments on a task / Level now

Hope this helps,

Larry,
You can do that for the Task Name : with the mouse, draw downward the lower
line of the row.

My fault, had the wrong setting. It was on peak units and not percent

Can I assign resource in hrs to milestone in MSProject

Alka,
Sure, why not? Normally however milestones should simply be an "zero
time" event that signals the completion of a group of performance tasks.
Even if the "milestone" is a meeting or major review (e.g. Critical
Design Review), the actual effort involved with that activity should
really be its own separate task and the real milestone is the "0"
duration completion of the tasks leading up to and the review itself.

Hope this helps.

Project 2003 Standard on Terminal Server

Posted: 14 Jul 2005 06:25 AM PDT

I was finally able to get it working. We were running Office 2000 on our
Citrix farm, and the default location for Project was within that folder. I
removed Project and reinstalled in it's own directory under program files,
and all worked well.

Thank you for your help, and i will check out the newsgroup that you
specifed for further instruction.

Question about resources who don't work 100% of time on a project

Posted: 14 Jul 2005 03:25 AM PDT

There's no single answer to your question on which task type, fixed work or
fixed duration, is proper. The task type is not truly a property of the
task in most cases and in any case it only effects the project when you edit
something that changes one of the three variables of work, duration, or
units. The "prime directive" is W=D*U. When you edit a resource assignment
or task, you can instruct Project to hold any one of those variables
constant while you change a second so that Project will recalculate the
third. The task type is the variable you want to be held constant in *this*
instant edit. Next time you change something about this task, another task
type might be appropriate - it all depends on what you are changing, why you
are doing it, and what the end result should be. For example, I'm painting
a room and have the painter assigned. Working full time it will take him
one week so the work is 40 man-hours. I realize I have another task I need
him to work on at the same time so I'm going to free him up part of each day
by reducing his assignment to 50%. It still will take 40 hours of work to
paint the room, the room didn't suddenly get smaller, but now he's only
working an average of 4 hours a day on it, doing something else the other 4.
Task type Fixed Work, edit the units, and the duration goes to 10 days. Now
consider, same room and same guy. He's on it 100% for 1 week. I realize
it's really a smaller room than I thought it was so the work is only 20 man
hours. I still want him done ASAP so task type is fixed units, edit the
work, and the duration becomes 2.5 days. Same scenario, I realize the room
is smaller than originally thought but I still don't need it done before the
end of the week. Task type Fixed Duration, edit the Work, and Project
resets the units to 50% freeing him up half of each day if I need him.

Project forms

Posted: 13 Jul 2005 04:20 PM PDT

Yes, we do this sometimes with VBA. Users just click an icon, and a nice
form pops up that they can fill in. The form can also display logos, as well
as non-editable calculated values.

It really makes data input a lot friendlier than a flat table, and it also
aids in analysis.

Field formula

Posted: 13 Jul 2005 12:37 PM PDT

Thanks for your help. It helped me out. After a test run I made a slight
change for a typo in the first statement:

IIf([Date1]<[Date2] And [Date1]<[Date3] ... (instead of date 2 again)

and now it runs perfect

Thanks again
Dave

Resource Usage View - Some tasks greyed out, some not

Posted: 13 Jul 2005 10:08 AM PDT

That is possible. I was looking from a resource perspective so I think if I
looked at all the greyed out tasks, they would be from the same sub schedule.

The problem resolved itself when I reopened the master schedule a few times
down the road, so I am guessing that is what happened.

Of course now I have other questions for another thread!

Thanks you for the reply.

As far as I'm aware, no automated emailing will work from Project Server as
it uses MAPI.

Search this forum with "birchler outlook",
I have posted vba code here before that maintains Outlook calendar
appointments, with reminders (if you wish). Perhaps that may help?

Overtime internal mechanisms

Posted: 12 Jul 2005 03:44 AM PDT

Dear Gary,
Thank you for your detailed answer. I think I understood the internal
behavior.
You are right that I should have mentioned that the task type was
fixed-duration.

I played again with my example under this new light and would like to
summarize:
a) when you increase overtime, MS Project keeps the unit (and moves work
forward).
b) when you decrease overtime, MS Project distributes work flat over the
duration and reduces unit accordingly.

The second behaviour seems more natural.
Indeed I didn't want to change the contour and only wanted to increase the
cost of the project (with overtime rate).

Thanks,
Your MVB (Most Valuable Beginner)
