| Posted: 14 Jun 2004 07:37 AM PDT Cheryl, That's a simple one. There are 9 working days from 6/21/04 to 7/2/04. The duration of a summary line is simply the difference in working time between the earliest start date and the latest finish date of the subtasks under the summary. Hope this helps. John |
| Posted: 13 Jun 2004 03:46 PM PDT David -- If you are using Project Professional 2003 with Project Server, you could do the following: 1. Open a new blank project 2. Use the Build Team from Enterprise wizard to select the resources whose projects you wish to see 3. Save the project as an enterprise project in the Project Server database 4. Apply the Resource Usage view The Resource Usage view will now show each resource, along with each project to which the resource is assigned. Hope this helps. -- Dale A.

| Posted: 13 Jun 2004 01:20 PM PDT Hi Dave, I'd use "Finish No Later Than" It is better than "Must Finish On" - reality is that finishing early is definitely allowed :-) However, beware, as I said, Project will then always show a "good" date for the finish of the final task. Personally, I include a column "Total Slack" which is your buffer and becomes negative as soon as you're late versus the due date.

And in order for our executives review proposals before they are submitted, I must establish hard review dates. My question is then, How do I tell Project that these particular dates cannot float?

| Setting task duration to minimum number of days Posted: 12 Jun 2004 12:49 AM PDT Richard, I apologize for a slight error in my earlier post. For the macro approach, the code needs to find the delta duration from task start to the end of the first day if the Start time is later than 8:00:00. This fractional day duration should then be added to the nominal 3 day duration. No change is made to the Start time because everything is set by the modified Duration. John |
| Posted: 11 Jun 2004 05:14 PM PDT HI, In the assign dialog box you can select multiple resources (hold the Ctrl key down, then drag them all together onto one or more tasks. In addition you can copy the contents of the Resource Names column to other tasks so duplicating the assignments. This is especially useful if you have different people at different units. -- For VBA posts, please use the public.project.developer group.

| Tasks that require multiple resources at the same time Posted: 11 Jun 2004 02:32 PM PDT It IS the best solution, Julie. But for a longish workaround through leveling, it is the ONLY solution.

| Posted: 11 Jun 2004 06:41 AM PDT Hi, Well yes, you can do that, and you can enter remaining work for each of the assignments, no problem. My question was why stop Project from rescheduling the remaining work? Note: if you enter reemaining work for both assignments, Project will not recalculate that, but it may reschedule it (not the same thing) HTH -- Jan De Messemaeker Microsoft Project Most Valuable Professional http://users.online.be/prom-ade/index.htm 32-495-300 620 "Mani" <microsoft.com> schreef in bericht news:com... for each task for each week. Every week I am given an update of the Actual Work and sometimes, an adjustment of the remaining work. However, if I have 2 or more resources assigned to a task, I find that the work may not be distributed correctly. For example a task that is estimated for 40 hours may require Jim to be assigned for 30 and Jane for 10, but may actually be 20/20. The only way that I have figured so far to do this is by updating it manually in a Time Scaled Task or Resource usage view... Any suggestions? |
| Posted: 11 Jun 2004 04:06 AM PDT If you look around on the net, you may still be able to find a set or the Keystone Learning Systems CD's on Project. Unfortunately, we only did up through Project 2000. There is almost 8 hrs of material on these CD's, and they are very thorough. I know, because I did them. They would probably still help someone new to project considerably. They are not just "push button" instructions, but contain quite a bit of information about Project Management based on my experience as a PM and PM consultant for a combined 20 years. The first couple of hours are an introduction to Critical Path Scheduling, something I feel you have to have passing knowledge of to properly use MS Project (or any other scheduling software). There's a lot of good stuff in them. Best of luck. David G. Bellamy Bellamy Consulting "Mike Glen" <glenATmvps.org> wrote in message news:<phx.gbl>... |
