    - Resource management with project Hi I am running several projects with several development teams. I use MSP for the project management. I create calendars for each resource. Now I would like to have a resource view. Which is ok so far, but I would also like to add the absences (in the individual calendars so far). I also would like to add the admin tasks . How can I do it? I do not want to run this in addition to MSP in excel when I already have 80% in MSP. Thanks Regars.... Kay Tag: Finding Task that has been collapsed Tag: 132612

    - Please help with Synch of ProjectServer and Outlook Hi all, I would like to ask for your help. We are starting to use MS Project Server and synchronization/import of project tasks to Outlook. We are happy, that project tasks are importing to Calendar (as an appointment) because thatÂ´s the way we want it :-) But we have one problem. For example we plan a Task in Project for our consultant - 6 hours for Monday, 2 hours for Tuesday and 4 hours for Friday. After synchronizing this task to Outlook, it looks like a multi day appointment from Monday to Friday viewed through full week view on Outlook calendar. But that is no correct ! We would like to set that Project/Project Server synchronize it correctly as 6 hours Monday appointment, 2 hour Tuesday appointment, etc. Please could somebody help us about where can we find settings for this ? I had read manuals and books but I didn't found it documented :-( Or can somebody give us advice where and how to setup it ? Thanks for your answers :-) Tag: Finding Task that has been collapsed Tag: 132609

    - Keeping costs confidential In our organisation we have about 40 IT developers and analysts, whose time on projects is managed via MSP2007, by their managers : 4 of them. In order to provide visibility of their tasks to the team, we'll be making MSP Viewer available to them. However, we'd like to keep all cost rate table / salary / earnings information confidential. Is this possible ? Incase it helps, our project plans are structured in such a way that they each draw (sharer file) from a resource pool. Tag: Finding Task that has been collapsed Tag: 132605

    - Password fails in Project 2007 in files with shared resources Hi, This seems an obvious bug, but I've not seen it reported here or elsewhere. I create "Project A" and "Project B" in 2007, and password protect both when saving. Then I open both projects and share resources from Project B in Project A, and make some changes to the shared resources from within Project A. When I close and attempt to re-open Project A, it says "Password is incorrect". This is consistently repeatable, and installing SP1 has not fixed it. It's a show stopper for me - can anyone repeat this, and if so does MS know about it? Thanks, Rob L Tag: Finding Task that has been collapsed Tag: 132588

    - Print Scaling in 2007 is deficient - HELP Has anyone else noticed that the print scaling algorithm in Project Professional 2007 seems to be seriously flawed? The only interface my management has with Project is by the reports I present and review with him and my push to migrate to 2007 is looking bad in his eyes simply because of this feature. I do a "fit to" and Project leaves a tremendous amount of white space on the bottom - changing the orientation would normally correct that; however, not in this version. I'd appreicate any help or at least a response to tell me that you've noticed it as well - misery loves company you know? Thank you! Tag: Finding Task that has been collapsed Tag: 132569

    - single resource partially tasked on multiple projects I have a single that is tasked with a fixed duration task. This sets them to 25% utilized during that task. I'm trying to also task the same resource to an additional fixed duration task that would add roughly another 25% utilization. However, project is not letting the two tasks exist concurrnetly with the same resource, even though the resource is not wholly utilized. Even though predecessors are not set, it's forcing the first task to be complete before the second begins. I'd like to have the two tasks exist concurrently and show the resource's total utilization between the two tasks. I'm sure it's just a setting I'm not famliar with or something simple I'm not doing. What am I missing? Thanks for any advice. Tag: Finding Task that has been collapsed Tag: 132558

    - Entering actual work in a "timesheet" view I have created a programme of work in MS Project (2002) with the intention that myself and my colleagues can book actual work (per day) into a timesheet view using the Task Usage screen. However, I have experienced some unusual results when testing this. For example, I have created a fixed duration task of 5 days, starting on a Wednesday and finishing the following Tuesday. Three resources have been assigned to this task, each with 2h work (0.4h per day), so a total of 6h over a 5 day period. As part of my test, I entered some actual work - 1h on the Friday for one of the resources. I had expected to see the second hour of work spread equally across the remaining 2 days duration of the task (i.e. 0.5h per day), but instead MSP extended the task by a further 2 days, to the Thursday, and allocated 0.25h each day. I have tried a few things to get around this, such as setting constraint dates on the task and unchecking the "effort driven" flag, but to no avail. By the way, all tasks in the plan are Fixed Duration. I would appreciate any help. Thanks, Lee Tag: Finding Task that has been collapsed Tag: 132541

    - Resource Calendar If I want to give my resources an hour of "off time" for them to do other work during the day, what is the best approach? I could change either their own individual calendar for individuals or modify the Standard Calendar, or create a new base calendar for those resources and make the break from noon - 2 instead of noon - 1. But what if I don't care at what time they execute their duties, as long as it gets done sometime that day. Or should I just keep the calendar "as is" and make sure not to assign more than, say, 6 hours of work per day. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated! -- Thanks!

    - Actual % complete versus Planned % complete Hello, When you add the column "% complete" in MS Project, you can enter the actual % complete. I would like to add a column, that shows the "planned % complete". This must be calculated automatically by the start date, the duration and the date today. Example: The start date of a Task is January the first. The duration is 20 days (work and none-working), so the end date is the 20 of January. I would add a column, that shows the "planned % complete". So suppose it is the 10th of January today, the "planned % complete" must be 50% automatically calculated. On the 15th of January this cell must show the value 75% etcetera. Is there a (simple) solution to my problem? And if there is, what is it? Kind Regards, Eric Tag: Finding Task that has been collapsed Tag: 132532

    - Calendar ?'s Hello, I am an entry level project manager and I know this is probably a silly question but I would appreciate any input...It seems like a nightmare to manage the calendars in this program, I'm quite confused and I'm having a difficult time keeping my dates where they need to be. I have spent little time with the program, however I have taken a class about two years ago and unfortunatly I have forgotten most of what I learned. Will someone please explain (as simply as possible) to me the way the calendars work? If I set up a 24hr calendar for the project and want to show an 8 hour task as a day what do I do? I had many other questions but can't really recal the the exact issue I was having so I can't give anymore examples. I think if someone could help me understand the way the system works I would be able to solve many of the problems I have had in the past.

Even thorugh I deselect "use this resourcepool" --> resourcepool on the "old" project and saves everything, the old project still seems to be linked in.

    - Resources with different % Units Hi everybody. I am using Project 2007 (Standard). I have a fixed work, 40 hours task. I have 2 resources assigned at 100% units, both with a standard calendar (40 hrs/week). The duration is 5 days as a conseguence. Let's say that resource A is now available at only 50%. Project assigns 4 hours to resource A on each of the 5 days, while resource B is assigned 8,8,4 hours in the first trhee days of the week. It seems like that when changing %Units assignments, Project tries to keep the duration unchanged. Is there a way to tell Project to try to minimize duration when changing resource %Units assignments? In this case the assignments could be: A: 4,4,4,0 B:8,8,8,0 The duration would then be 4 days instead of 5. Thank you in advance for your kind help. Federico Bravo.
