Out of the Microsoft Office Products, Visio can also do Gantt charts. IMO, if all you're after is a gantt chart, then customization-wise, Excel has the least, Project in the middle, Visio is the most customizable. From my brief search online, it seems Excel creates Gantt charts through what is...

The way I try to look at it is that we are all universally human. I cannot rattle off our product line, just like one of my users cannot tell me the difference between Java and Javascript. If our roles were reversed (and given an appropriate amount of time), I'm sure we could learn each...

Should have reviewed my answer before submitting - meant to say "before you start working.

I've found analogies work best! The user's desk is like the memory in the computer. The hard drive is like the filing cabinet. You do not typically work directly from a filing cabinet, you have to pull the folder out and put it on the desk before it starts working. etc, etc Just find...

I'm not sure from your narrative - did you show her a cost model for each printer? I would draw something up in a spreadsheet that assumes a certain page count (per year), then show the total annual cost of each printer. Sometimes it's the "big picture" that will convince people, unless they...

I need to set explicit responsibilities for my current project (I've been too lucky in the past - my previous resources were responsible). I've read about a tool called a Responsibility Assignment Matrix, where each resource can be assigned a role for each deliverable. Seems the standard roles...

I saw one this morning, on a BMW: PRSTG03

It has to do with leveling resources. Search on Priority or 'About Resource Leveling' in the help for more information. (I'm using Project Pro 2003, but I would think the same searches would work in other versions.)

One way you can go about it is to say that you also need to maintain license information to ensure that the proper licenses are purchased for any software installed. If they start talking about "freeware", typically the freeware license applies only to personal use, not business use. This can...

Does anyone have a recommendation on one or more good books on Requirements Gathering?

I concur with PDQBach and johnherman; I had read many books, used the help file within Project (2003 Pro), and read as many articles as I could online. I then took a (company-funded) 2-day course for ~$400 of the advanced level. I was amazed at how much I did not know - and how much I still...

I had a presentation to senior staff this morning and had it on the slide! Of course when I specified that a specific item was excluded from the scope, but could be put in (with appropriate approvals and understanding of the time/cost increases) - still had some people up at arms! By the end...

I was writing up a presentation, and approached the executive assistant on whether presenting the Triple Constraint (Cost, Scope, Time/Schedule) triangle to the executive management was proper or would insult them; At that point I learned that she (who was a Program Manager in the engineering...

PDQBach, I followed your instructions - but still get the same thing as described by David. The key is that Task B has two predecessor relationships - so the latest task (Task A finish or Task D start) is what sets the start of Task B; To quote the evilest phrase to ever frustrate users...

I just ran through those same steps (save the steps to 'correct'); 1. Calculation is set to automatic 2. Scheduling is from Project Start Date I have the same effect that is described, but to me it makes sense. The predecesessor relationship of SS means that (in this case) that task B is...

As an alternative (depending on the number of resources, can become a tree-killer) - why not filter for each resource, then print out just that user's tasks? As another alternative, what about using one of the reports instead (or is the Gantt chart required?). Another option is to save the...

I would suggest getting the TZEdit program from Microsoft, and running it on one of the computers - and see if the DST settings did change. From there you should be able to figure out if the patch did update the time zone information.

I've decided to just deal with it - inserting Word into Powerpoint would just be adding a new level of complexity for the sake of a minor benefit. Thanks again for the help!

I should have been more specific - when turning on the paragraph marks, the space/tab/etc marks appear as well. It allows me see what exactly is affecting how things are spaced. (Granted when I write the document myself, I know what I did to align text, though others have differing methods of...
