The concept of Project Management as it relates to Virtual teams (team members located in different geographic locations) is becoming more and more important. Discussing the challenges and proposing solutions for virtual project management - how to use technology to do so, etc. could be a very...

When resources are assigned to tasks there *IS* a connection between Work and Duration... For all tasks, after you assign a resource, the task is scheduled according to the formula Duration = Work / Units. For any task, you can choose which piece of the equation Project calculates by setting...

Did you enter your 40 hours into the duration field? There is a difference between duration & work effort. Try using the Task Usage View - it shows tasks and assigned resources. The default table with that view should have columns for Work & Duration. You will probably see that your...

Langley: If you believe you were extremely well suited for the job, write a thank you note describing how you meet their requirements. So many job candidates fail to do that - and that will help you stand out from the crowd. It sounds as if you made an honest mistake, and were "early" for what...

jancebk - comes from years ago when I signed up for AOL - Chose First name, middle initial, last initial, back in the olden days when you filled out paperwork to do so... apparently I left out the "i" in Janice (or the person who typed it in at AOL did). The handle stuck, even tho I no...

jennuhw: crack me up - until now I also thought it was "gave me a bite of my sandwich" !!! Thanks all for posting to this thread. Bits of humor in my day! Jan

I live in central Ohio, but I'm not a "native" of this area. I've lived here for 20 years, but one local method of speech just makes me cringe. A very common practice here is to say something such as "My grass needs cut" or "This needs checked" or "My car needs fixed" or "The floor needs...

OK shouldn't the question be "Second to whom?" I was taught a simple trick to determine when to use Who vs. Whom - Answer the question with He or Him If the answer is him - use whom - ie the answer is this case would be "Second to him", so "Second to whom?" is the proper question. If the...

Lori: When you are in the project file - if you are in the Gantt chart view, the left side of the screen is called a table. You can insert the column "Unique ID" into the table (as I described above) and it will display the Unique ID for each task. If that isn't what you are looking for -...

Not to alarm you - but I have seen some organizations challenge an employee to "define what they can do" to determine the value the employee adds to the organization. If the employee doesn't come up with a list of what they can do to help either 1) generate revenue, 2) save other people time...

I'm not quite sure what you are trying to do - see the Unique identifier (you can, see below) or are you trying to generate it? (you can't) The Unique ID is a task field that can be inserted into any of your Task tables. (Point to the Table Headers, Right click and choose Insert Column) The...

Sorry ESquared - I thought this topic fit in WordPlay - but as it is your forum, I guess you can make the rules! ;-) So - are you going to make us guess what the real lyrics were to "Pump Up the Volume"? (or is it just "Pump up the volume" on each line?) Do you know why these are called...

One of the threads in this forum made me think of song lyrics that people sing incorrectly, but yet sort of make sense... For example - for years I thought that the line in The Eagles song "Take it Easy" that goes "Looking for a lover that won't blow my cover" was actually "Looking for a lover...

Matt: The Microsoft discussion groups are a good source - reading through the posts gives setup & usage ideas, also things to avoid. http://www.microsoft.com/office/community/en-us/default.mspx?dg=microsoft.public.project.pro_and_server&lang=en&cr=US A book I would recommend is published by...

johnherman - I have to agree with you about NOT letting MS Project do the leveling. There are many factors that need to be set "just right" (such as Priority on the Task, Constraints that have been set, etc). I have rarely seen MS Project come even close to my anticipated results. ficasm - One...

Yes 1. In the Gantt chart view - point to the white space in the Gantt chart (NOT on a bar) and double click. This will bring up the Bar Styles dialog box. (If it just says "Format Bar" - you clicked on a bar and the steps below will only affect one bar - close the dialog box & try again) 2...

We are using Project Web Server 2003 and capturing time electronically. I have several MS Project 2003 schedules that make up a Program. I'd like to set up a Master Project for the Program and insert each project as a linked item in the Master Project. The Project Web Server support staff...

On my team Sharepoint site, I have a Risk list & and Issue list that, through the General Settings feature, I have set up to email the Assigned Owner whenever they are assigned a new item. This works fine. Similarly, I have a list "Action Items" that I have created, that have using the "User...

Setting up a team Sharepoint (Sharepoint Portal Server 2003) site which actually serves a "program" made up of several projects, each with their own MS Project file in Project Web Server 2003. Is it possible to attach the team Sharepoint site to multiple project files? If so, how? Thank you...

Thanks! Works great! Jan
