| Posted: 15 May 2005 11:29 PM PDT A basic point - the budget of yor project is not the same thing as what you pay your resources per unit of time. IT is what you pay your resources to do the actual work that is driectly involved in the project. If you have Joe who gets $2500 per month and he works on something in your project for 1 hour, doing something else the rest of the month, his cost to your project really is only ~$16, not his full salary. Let whoever he was doing the other stuff for pay him for that work out of their budget, not yours <grin>. And as Rod already said, you should use what is known as a "burdened labour cost" with adjustments for benefits, hiring and training costs, office space and utilities, etc, instead of base salary so you are accurately reflecting the true costs to your firm of doing that project. Costs in Project reflect the actual costs of doing that project, not the overall costs of doing business. Unless your resources are all external contractors, you'd have to pay that resource even if you didn't do the project at all. What counts from a project costing, roi, etc perspective is what it costs you to do that work in contrast to all the other things you could be doing. Even if your costs of doing business don't increase when you do the project, there still is an opportunity cost to be factored in based on the fact that you're committing resources here and so can't commit them there. -- Steve House [MVP] MS Project Trainer & Consultant Visit http://www.mvps.org/project/faqs.htm for the FAQs "Mindaugas Bliûdþius" <lt> wrote in message news:%phx.gbl... |
| Posted: 15 May 2005 08:39 AM PDT Some settings are "above the line" and are general settings that are remembered from project to project. Others are "below the line," project specific settings that are saved as part of the project file. The status of the Project Summary Task is one of the latter. If you tuen it on and then save your project it will be on when you reopen it. -- Steve House [MVP] MS Project Trainer & Consultant Visit http://www.mvps.org/project/faqs.htm for the FAQs "d20" <com> wrote in message news:O8%phx.gbl... |
| Posted: 14 May 2005 11:09 PM PDT I'm not certain I understand, but maybe if you (in MSProject) say "group by Field1 then by Field2 then by Field3", that would place each imported task under three levels of headers (which are similar to summaries). See command Project/CustomizeGroups. Does this do what you want? Steve "Tomcat" <microsoft.com> wrote in message news:com... |
| calculate % complete based on other fields Posted: 14 May 2005 11:05 PM PDT Sounds like your structure might be based on time sequencing rather than process sequencing. By that I wonder if your summary tasks are time units such as "Work for June" and the subtasks all the tasks taking place during that month? Or perhaps the summary is "Work for the Engineering Group" with all the tasks done by resources from those departments listed as subtasks under it. If either is the case, you might want to reconsider your WBS because at least in my experience such structures always leads to headaches in the end. Your issue with progress recording for "odd and even" tasks will be just the tip of the iceberg I'm afraid. I'd strongly suggest you consider putting the tasks relating to structural work under a summary "Build Structure" while those related to outfitting be put under an "Outfit Structure" summary, perhaps even with sub-summaries such as "Install Piping", "Install HVAC", "Install Wiring", etc and the various activities required to install those key deliverables listed as subtasks under their appropriate areas. The sequencing of tasks is most correctly driven be the predecessor/successor links and is not dependent on their relative positions in the task listing. There's nothing that says task 100 can't come before task 50 in time or for that matter produce a deliverable that task 50 needs in order to start, thus making 100 both a predecessor and an antecendent of 50. -- Steve House [MVP] MS Project Trainer & Consultant Visit http://www.mvps.org/project/faqs.htm for the FAQs "Tomcat" <microsoft.com> wrote in message news:com... |
| Posted: 13 May 2005 12:30 PM PDT Why would you want to???? If you follow a conventional business or academic document style and double space between paragraphs, those single words or phrases you can get appearing to hang in the top or bottom margins when a page break hits just after the first line of a new paragraph or just before the last couple of words in the last paragraph at the bottom of a page are incredibly ugly looking and amateurish. Having widow/orphan control turned on instructs Word to fix it if they're about to occur. Frankly I can't imagine any document where you'd actually want to see widows and orphans forming. -- Steve House [MVP] MS Project Trainer & Consultant Visit http://www.mvps.org/project/faqs.htm for the FAQs "stimy" <microsoft.com> wrote in message news:com... |
| Time Scale: getting Quarters to line up with day of project start Posted: 13 May 2005 10:58 AM PDT Rod, I need Q1 to start on May 18th for example. Can projects do that? It would be nice to see 3 month increments from the start of the project since that is how it works in this particular case. (program starts when contract is signed). thanks for additional help steve "Rod Gill" wrote: |
| Saved MPP project files save smaller than the original file - TIA Posted: 13 May 2005 09:58 AM PDT Hi Chris, Welcome to this Microsoft Project newsgroup :-) This could be quite normal depending on how and when you save your projects. If you suspect a corrupt file, you could try the suggestions in FAQ Item: 43. File Bloat? - Might be Corruption.

| WBS sequence not kept on Import Posted: 12 May 2005 09:51 PM PDT Gérard Thanks for quick response. However this does not seem to work either. the structure I am after is like this. A B C C C B C C C where the B's are subtasks of A and the C's are sub tasks of the B's to acheive this I have set as suggested the outline levels 1 2 3 3 3 2 3 3 3 The problem is that some tasks at the level 3 get jumbled up into the different level 2's. I have checked the source table and they are stored in the correct sequence there and if read sequentually or through the default index they should be read in correctly. Do I need to change my Outline level somehow or some how force MS Project to use the default table index ? Thanks "Gérard Ducouret" wrote: |
| Milestones add time to projects? Posted: 12 May 2005 08:13 PM PDT The best solution is to completely remove the fixed-date constraint from your milestone and link it into the chain of subtasks as the last task in the chain. The duration of a summary is from the start of the earliest task to the finish of the latest task, If I have a summary containing only two subtasks, both of them milestones of zero duration, and use a MSO or MFO contraint to fix the subtasks to dates 2 weeks apart, the summary will show a duration of 2 weeks. Milestones are NOT dates per se - they are signifigant EVENTS (such as "Approval Received" or "Design Finished") that occur during the project. They may, and usually do, have deadlines or dates where they are supposed to hit but that doesn't mean they are "fixed dates." A "fixed date " means it WILL happen on that date no matter what else is going on or whether the events leading up to it happen on time or not. That approval, for example, will come whenever it comes, be it early, on-time, or late. What your plan should be showing is where the milestone is likely to happen as determined by the work leading up to it, with a deadline indicating where it is supposed to happen if you're meeting your objectives so you can compare the two and determine if your plan is a good one or if you have to go back to the drawing board and reschedule to better meet the required performance. -- Steve House [MVP] MS Project Trainer & Consultant Visit http://www.mvps.org/project/faqs.htm for the FAQs "superfly" <microsoft.com> wrote in message news:com... |
