    - Resource Units and change to schedule Hello, I have a part time resource who worked 10 hours per week on a project. Her calendar was changed to reflect working 2 hours per day and her resource units set to 100%. Recently, it was approved for her to increase to 20 hours per week (effective 09/01/08). In the Resource Availability section I increased her resource units to 200% for 09/01/08 - 12/31/09. Based on the resource usage sheet, or some days past 09/01/08, she is now scheduled to work 4 hours. For other days, however, she is still scheduled to work only 2. Can you help me understand why this would be, and what I will need to do to ensure that she is not under-utilized? I have tried leveling but it has not helped. Thank you for any insight you can provide :) Tag: Displaying task information in Resource Usage View Tag: 142644

    - Adjusting Deadlines from COB to 6 a.m. the next day My company's deadline schedule does not go on a COB basis; instead, due dates are at 6 a.m. For example, if something was due COB Wednesday at another company, this task would be due 6 a.m. Thursday at my company. In either case, the resource who would be using the deliverable next would have access to it when they arrive to work on Thursday morning. I'm scheduling a few things in Project and this is messing up my duration/start/finish columns. Let's say I've scheduled a task with a duration of 4 days....the start and finish dates Project gives me are Tue 9/2/08 and Fri 9/5/08. In reality, this task begins on Tue 9/2 at 6 a.m. and is due on Fri 9/5 at 6 a.m, so the duration is actually 3 days instead of 4 since Friday is not a working day for this task. If I shorten the duration to 3 days, this will confuse my team because they will think the task is due at 6 a.m on Thu 9/4 instead of 6 a.m. on Fri 9/5. I think this has something to do with my base calendar...does anyone have any tips on how to make the durations reflect the 6 a.m. deadline schedule? Thanks in advance!

    - Timeline formatting in Ganttt chart Using MS Project 2007. When I customize the timeline in my Gantt chart view, for example to display fiscal weeks, then I zoom in on the timeline, then zoom back out again, my customizations are gone. Is this the way it's supposed to work? How can I keep it displaying fiscal weeks? It seems to have a mind of it's own. Tag: Displaying task information in Resource Usage View Tag: 142633

    - Resource Leveling Macro The challenge is to have resources loaded according to allocation. For example, a resource is assigned to a particular Cost Account at 50% with many tasks, how can I add the resource to these tasks to equate to a total of 50%? Is there a macro than can be created to automatically level the resource or spread the resource equally across assignments as allocated and over the total time period?

    - How to lock resources into 6.5hrs of planned work per day I'm trying to lock my resources into 6.5 hours of planned work per day so that when I level the project, it schedule everyone at no more than 6.5 hrs. I have tried to doing this by setting the max assignment units on every taks to 81%, however that sets everyone's work day to 6.48hrs which is ugly. 6.5hrs is actually .8125%, however project does not go to decimals for units. Is there another way to do this? I've dug through "change working time" but nothing seems to work. Any help is appreciated. Tag: Displaying task information in Resource Usage View Tag: 142608

    - Resource availability Environment: Project Server 2007, Project Pro, Enterprise resources, Multiple projects When one resource becomes over located manager can see that through pwa resource center. With that in mind manager can level resources based on certain criteria. Here is my question: In new project when manager wants to assign resource (work) to some tasks he doesn't know that source availability. Shouldn't there be an option to see if particular assignment would cause that resource to become over located and to see that immediately in process of assigning resources? In that way proactive assignment would take place, not just reactive. Maybe there is a way to do this but I'm not aware of it. Tag: Displaying task information in Resource Usage View Tag: 142596

    - Is this a 2003 vs 2007 compatibility issue ? I am using MSP 2003 SP3 running on XP. Someone else is using MSP 2007 on Vista we need to share files. They have done a save as into a 2003 mpp file and e-mailed it to me but when I open it it is always set to read-only. They say they can't find any read-only flags on their side. I asked them to create a blank schedule and import their schedule into it and then send it to me but the problem is still there. I know I could do a save as but shortly we are going to be using SharePoint and I need edit access directly to their file. We have a standard of MSP 2003 for this program but this person won't downgrade. Tag: Displaying task information in Resource Usage View Tag: 142595

    - how can number fields in resource views be rolled up? Hi again, I am using a number field in the resource usage to show the actual effort of the people. It's filled by a little macro updating the data from the task view where it's also stored in a number field, not in "actual work". The field "work" in the resource usage shows the sum of the activities in the resource summary, however, I can not show the sum of the actuals in the resource summary line. Is there a trick to do this? I'm using MSP 2007. Thanks much for your help in advance, best regards Gabi Tag: Displaying task information in Resource Usage View Tag: 142591

    - Combining Calendars Hello- I'm new to Project 2003 and need a bit of help. I've got two calendars for two seperate seasons of product development. The dates extend over 8-9 month period for each season with a few months of overlapping tasks across the two seasons. What I want to do is combine the two calendars into one where the bars are colored for each season seperately. So, on those months that have overlapping tasks it is easy to discern which season the task needs to be done for. The end result is rather simple but MS Project may be to sophisticated for this.

    - Sort Order Ignored with Custom Text Fields & Description vs Value I am trying to "group" my display by using the custom text fields. I have renamed several text fields, giving them names such as Company and Area, and entered information in the lookup table for these fields. I put the information in a particular order and selected the "By row number" under "Display order for lookup table". The first problem is that this sorting option is ignored. Project sorts using the data in the "Value" column of the lookup table, not the row number option I selected. It does this during normal sorting of the field and when sorting during grouping. This option is completely ignored. The second problem involves how the lookup data is displayed during grouping. Instead of using the "Description", it uses the "Value". What makes this confusing for me is Project 2000 used the "Description", although only sometimes - it was not under my control. (I could not determine when it would or would not use it) I want to display the lookup table "Description" during grouping. Any suggestions?

    - Updating Network Diagram I run all projects thru Network Diagram for construction which usually follow a suimple layout. I have been noticing when I update projects by % complete and I am ahead of schedule it does not update the successor. An example would be: Frame Roof 15 days start 8/21 finish 9/11 (early completion of 9/2 - 100%) Fascia 5 days start 9/12 finish 9/18 When the Roof Framing was updated on 9/2 the start of Fascia should turn to 9/3 but it stays on 9/12. I have been researching "actual durations" and additional resources and have been trying to update ioin different way but I connot seem to make it work. Is it one of the calculations settings?

    - Rsource Graphing Greetings all. I currently operate MSP 2003 pro desktop version. I support a department that has resources working on 11 different projects. I've set up a labor pool and a master project to view all of the projects and resources. I need to be able to generate a summary level, timescaled graph, that indicates the labor allocation, by resource, for selected resources. The graph preferably needs to be a vertical bar type chart with 100% being the upper threshold so that overallocations and underallocations can be easily observed by the department manager. I can easily generate the resource usage sheet in MSP but the department manager wants to see a graph. He does not want to see a stack of graphs (one for each resource) that MSP generates. I beleive I understand from this forum that it is not possible to generate the type of graph I'm seeking in MSP. Looks as if I'll need to send the data to MS Excel which doesn't look too daunting. However, I'd like to automate as much as possible as this graph will be updated frequently. I'm not VBA conversant but am willing to learn. All input is appreciated.

    - determine latest finish date by milestone Dear all, I need to implement the following scenario: I have an *external* milestone "M1: final system available". This external milestone links into a plan defining and setting up and running the test environment. M1 defines, when the tests have to be finished. Let's say, my plan contains a task "T1: system test". Now, the end date of T1 cannot be later than M1. How do I implement that, so that 1) I get a warning, when my planning causes the Finish Date of T1 to be later than M1 2) warning, if M1 moves forward, so that as a result T1 would be too late. I toyed around with various constraints and task dependencies without success. The easiest would be to feed a deadline on T1 with the date of M1, but that can only be done "by hand" I assume ... We are using Project 2007 (Enterprise). Any hints or ideas would be much appreciated. Thanks and cheers, Riko Tag: Displaying task information in Resource Usage View Tag: 142559

    - BCWP Calculation Hi From Microsoft Project 2003 I understand BCWP is calculated as BCWS * % Work Complete. I have the following queries: 1. In the Plan that I have, it is calculated as BCWS * % Complete (not % Work Complete). Even if I change the Default Earned Value Method to Physical % Complete, it still uses % Complete for Calculating the BCWP value 2. Secondly even if % Work Complete is used, why should it be used in BCWP calculations. % Work Complete is calculated as Actual Work / Work * 100. If a resource puts in 100 hours of actual work and out of this 100, say only 75 hours contributes to the original baseline, then % Work Complete value for BCWP calculations should be 75 and not 100. However the way MSP calcultes, there is no difference between ACWP and BCWP. How does MSP distinguish between ACWP and BCWP when whatever Actual Work is charged is accounted in % Work Complete Calculations and consequently in the BCWP calculations. Appreciate any help on this query. Tag: Displaying task information in Resource Usage View Tag: 142543

    - How do I move an entire group of tasks Hello I am using Project 2007 to help manage Hospital Construction for a contractor. What I am trying to do is move the start date of a group of tasks, either earlier or later, based on changing conditions. If one trade (i.e. plumbing) needs to adjust their schedule, the timing of the group of tasks needs to stay the same (or relatively so), but the tasks do not all occur immediately following one another, this allows time for other trades to perform their work. So if I have 13 tasks spread over 150 days with several 10-20 day time gaps and I need to move the start date earlier, I have to adjust each one individually. I have tried hard and soft constraints, but cannot get that time gap to remain fixed. With thousands of tasks and years on the schedule, this can get a little tedious. I have looked some macros that may help this, but haven't found anything to fit the bill. I welcome any advice, and thank you in advance for your help Tag: Displaying task information in Resource Usage View Tag: 142496

I would appreciate it if someone could help me to change the colour of the tasks in the critical path as well (the wording in the task name spreadsheet column), if this is possible.

    - Phases and Sub Tasks I am trying to create my plan - whilst setting up the structure it appears that when I update a date on my indented task it does not update the parent task. How do i get this to do it automatically? Tag: Displaying task information in Resource Usage View Tag: 142440

We typically set up our programming tasks as follows:

PrototypeA
Develop first iteration
Review
Develop 2nd iteration
Review

PrototypeB
Develop first iteration
Review
Develop 2nd iteration
Review

Whenever the information is displayed in the Resource Usage view, the only
description displayed is, for example, Develop first iteration and I do not
know if it applies to the task for PrototypeA or PrototypeB. I know that as a
work-around, I can change our task naming conventions, but before I go
through that process I wanted to make sure that there is not a way to display
the name(s) of the tasks that a given task rolls up to (in the Resource Usage
view).

Thanks!

In the Resource Usage view, insert the Task Summary Name column to the left
of the Task Name column. Hope this helps.
