leveling priority

T

theintern

does leveling always schedule tasks with sooner deadlines first and, if the
deadlines are equal, then schedule the task with the longer duration first?
it appears to be doing this. does anybody know if this is always the case?
if not, i'll have to hard code it to do so using vba.

thanks
scott

Hi,
Again, Stephen, in the other NG we would redirect hom here because it's on
VBA.
The answer is no, you would not have that guarantee.
The Standard priority of Project is based MAINLY on total slack but not
exclusively.

Hope this helps,

Jan,

Because his question concerned leveling. He mentioned using VBA if and
only if he could not achieve his goal using out of the box
functionality.

He didn't even have a question on VBA... he asked if he could do this
in the product and mentioned he would do it in VBA if he couldn't.

Since this is a development group (and therefore less likely to have
someone intimately familiar with leveling), I thought it may be helpful
to direct him to the other newqsgroup where he could get an answer to
his primary question on leveling. If the answer was no, he could then
return here to get an answer on his secondary question concerning VBA.

My response was intended to spare him from waiting around for someone
to answer his leveling question when it's possible that nobody here
would be able to.

Does Project 07 level any differently than Project 03? is the algorithm the
same?

I only have Project Professional 2007 without Project server. If I have a
shared resource pool linked to Project server do all the choices in the
levelling menu behave in the same way eg split tasks, priorities etc or does
Project server add something to the story ?

In other words can I just treat the resouce table as a read only resource
that behaves in exactly the same way as if it was in the file resource sheet.

The topics we cover on a normal course are contained at
http://www.mousetraining.co.uk/ms-training/microsoft-project-training-courses.html

My biggest concern is whether I am misunderstanding the significance of the
collaboration Menu

Any help would be gratefullt recieved

Hi Johnc,

May I ask clarification on this:
"without Project server"
"If I have a shared resource pool linked to Project server"

Which one is it?
By all means, you never link a resource pool to Project Server, and projects
linked to the server use the enterprise resource pool, not their own
resoruce pool.

So I'm afraid I don't understand the configuration.

John:

To answer your basic question: Project Server does not contain leveling
tools.
