Calculating Review Time in MS Project

[NellieO]

I have 2 types of resource, one which requires a fixed % of review time and the other which requires no review time at all.

How do I go about building this into my project so that when I assign a resource against a task it will automatically calculate the review time required?

e.g Bob's standard rate is £150 p/hr his work needs to be reviewed by a technical specialist. Therefore for every hour Bob is assigned to a task, 10% review time needs to be added (at a cost 10% of the standard rate).

Mary's standard rate is also £150 p/hr however her work does not need reviewing.

Both Bob & Mary are working on the same project but on different tasks.

The technical reviewer can be one of a number of people.

I would like add a column in the gantt chart which shows the amount of review hours & the cost of the review hours.

Have been trying to think of a solution but seem to be drawing a blank each time. Any advice greatly received!

Hello NellieO,

Sorry to disappoint, but automatically calculating and assigning reviewer time is not possible in Project. You'll need to add a reviewer resource (technical specialist) to your project and assign those resources either directly to the tasks being done by Bob, or perhaps better yet, create a review tasks to more closely track the additional money for the review.

Then you could simply flag the review tasks and be able to filter for those tasks and view work and cost data.

I hope this helps.
