asta powerproject apparently gives you the ability to color each bar according to nature of task!

Tony - the question is whether it is possible to do what you ask using MSP? Nope. Resource loading in MSP is static, ie, you specify the workload or adjust the calendar and other assignment settings to reflect a balanced workload. What you are asking for is called finite scheduling. Here is a...

wrbird - nope! holidays are just more 'non-working hours'. other than aesthetic appeal, it wouldn't matter, would it?

Pedro What is your update cycle? Daily/Weekly? What is your update procedure? A few observations: 1. I see you use choose to display progress line at current date in relation to actual plan. Assuming your update cycle is one week, it is more prudent to display progress line at project status...

On the timescale, right click and select 'Timescale'. Select tab 'Non-working time'. Choose appropriate color and pattern from drop-down list.

Pjadss - can you share your project plan?

The statement - "I want to associate task A with the 20% load" - offers the solution. Have you tried assigning a separate Task Calendar for Task A?

Stuman - its applicable for any type of work. IT services received all the hype (and flak). At the low end of the spectrum (in terms of pricing - $10-25 per h) you have medical transcription, math tuitions and inbound call processing and such stuff. The mid-tier ($40-150 per hour) comprises IT...

Anyone here has any knowledge of US$ consulting rates chargeable by contract systems integration consultants (architects, systems analysts) in Thailand?

Ok - so the June 11 problem persists and cannot be replicated in my installation. Try this little exercise: 1. Open a new project. 2. Open Tools/Change Working Time 3. Create a new definition for workweek for 11-18 June. Start by selecting the range of dates in the calendar displayed. 4...

By 20%, I assume you want this resource working 20%*8=1.6h per day through April, ie, 1h 36 minutes a day. Since this arrangement is for April alone, the answer lies in the resource calendar for this April part-timer. See plan attached for (a) full-timer and (b) part-timer. Both work 408h. But...

Stuman - its obviously working quite well considering that at $150 billion+ it constitutes some of the fastest growing sectors of the economy in developing countries. If the offshore team is well integrated, and the hand-off of processes well managed, your teams productivity can be increased...

All constraints have been removed - that's great! But you had a deadline of Mon 08-08-11 23:00 on summary task 1 (MSC SUBSEA ENGINEERING DISSERTATION). Remove it and you have a critical path starting at Task 36 (Introduce a girth weld into the plain pipe model and run the analysis again for all...

Why has this forum not seen any activity since Dec 2010? Still figuring Release 8? Is Oracle headed in the right direction?

...unrelated observation: Your standard day is defined as 5h. When you define duration of a task, for example, Task 41, as 1.6 "days", it implies 1.6*5h = 8h NOT 1.6*11h = 17.6h as you might have expected to see during the [Unamed] June work week. This is because, MSP converts days into hours...

And uncheck "Effort Driven"!

You will need a finite scheduling software package - not a plain old project management package like MSP.

Just a suggestion: Qualitative risk can be listed as notes to a dummy activity. Quantitative risks have impact - cost or schedule. So, you could consider using Activity and Resource (Work/Material/Cost) assigned to such 'risk activities' to build your budgeted risk contingency.

Nigel - there appear to be many common beginner errors in your plan that you may like to rectify in discussion with a mentor. I will list some below as it comes to my head: 1 Calendar: you are using the standard calendar with default work hours 2 Task Duration - you have fractional durations...

Check the first task on critical path for constraints and clear it!
