Microsoft Project 2003

[albrookins]

Hello:

I have a student who has Microsoft Project 2003 and there are 2 questions
that she has asked that I need assistance with:

1. She needs to know how to display both the start and end dates of
workers. She would like to display the dates in a report and print the
report out instead of looking at the resource sheet.

2. She would also like to know how to plan on working over time and show it
in the budget both actuals and forecast.

Thank you for your assistance. Your assistance is greatly
appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Andrea,

Welcome to this Microsoft Project newsgroup

1. Have you tried Views/Reports.../Assignments and pick one of the reports
where you can see the start and end dates of each resource and the tasks to
which they're assigned.

2. Firstly, you should never plan to work overtime - it's one of the few
tools a project manager has to catch up when things go wrong. That said,
from the Gantt Chart view, Window/Split, select the task in the top screen
and then right-click in the bottom screen and select Resource Work. There
you can enter Ovt. Work cell for overtime. Note that as far as Project is
concerned, overtime is not extra work, but work taken out of the planned
work for the task to make the Duration less and thus finish quicker. eg
Duration 5 days, Work 40 hours. Put overtime to 8 hours, the Work remains
at 40 hours but the Duration will reduce to 4 days.

Direct her to have a look at my tutorials referenced below.

Hope this helps - please let us know how you get on
