New Perspectives on Microsoft Project 2007: Assigning Resources and Costs

In this tutorial you will: Work with resource and cost data. Edit task information based on the relationship between work, duration, and units. Create fixed work and fixed duration tasks. Examine the critical path and slack. Level over allocations and set resource contours. 11/18/2018 11/18/2018 Presentations Created by C. Hester - Microsoft Project 2007 by Bunin 2

Presentations Created by C. Hester - Microsoft Project 2007 by Bunin Case: LAN Project You have created a Project 2007 file that contains the tasks, durations, and dependencies necessary to install the local area network (LAN). To complete the project: Need to hire contractors, purchase equipment, and commit resources and costs to accomplish the tasks. Include resource management information and project cost data. 11/18/2018 11/18/2018 Presentations Created by C. Hester - Microsoft Project 2007 by Bunin 3

Entering Cost and Resource Data A significant component to planning and managing your project is accurately controlling and tracking cost and resource data. A cost is an expenditure made to accomplish a task. It includes both variable and fixed costs. 11/18/2018 11/18/2018 Presentations Created by C. Hester - Microsoft Project 2007 by Bunin 4

Presentations Created by C. Hester - Microsoft Project 2007 by Bunin Variable Costs Variable costs are determined by the number of resource units assigned to a task as well as the hourly or per use cost for that resource. Variable costs can be associated with labor costs or material consumable resources. 11/18/2018 11/18/2018 Presentations Created by C. Hester - Microsoft Project 2007 by Bunin 5

Presentations Created by C. Hester - Microsoft Project 2007 by Bunin Fixed Costs Fixed costs are expenses such as insurance, a legal fee, or a travel expense that are associated with a task but do not vary according to the length of the task or the number of resources assigned to the task. 11/18/2018 11/18/2018 Presentations Created by C. Hester - Microsoft Project 2007 by Bunin 6

Presentations Created by C. Hester - Microsoft Project 2007 by Bunin Budget After establishing costs, you can track and manage them so that your project stays within the budget. The budget is the amount of money that you have allocated for the project based on cost and time estimates. You can update cost and time estimates so they are in better alignment with the actual costs and time allocations of the project. 11/18/2018 11/18/2018 Presentations Created by C. Hester - Microsoft Project 2007 by Bunin 7

Resources and Resource Sheet View A resource is the person(s), equipment, or materials used to complete a task in a project. You can enter resource and cost data about a project in many different project views, but for the initial data entry of resources, the Resource Sheet view is commonly used. A grouping feature is available in the Resource Sheet view so you can get a logical view of your resources based on groups. 11/18/2018 11/18/2018 Presentations Created by C.

Using the Resource Information Dialog Box The Resource Information dialog box is a comprehensive collection of all of the data stored for a single resource. You can edit resource information to make changes to the e-mail address, notes, resource availability date, and cost rate table fields using the Resource Information dialog box. A cost rate table is a grid of different hourly and per use costs that can be stored for a single resource. 11/18/2018 11/18/2018 Presentations Created by C. Hester - Microsoft Project 2007 by Bunin 11

Using the Resource Information Dialog Box Cont’d You can track many fields of information about each resource. After the resource data has been entered, you can start assigning resources to specific tasks. Project 2007 automatically calculates task costs by multiplying task durations by the cost information supplied for each resource. 11/18/2018 11/18/2018 Presentations Created by C.

Using the Resource Work Form Total work for a task is initially calculated as the task duration (converted to hours) multiplied by the number of resources assigned to that task. Total work is initially calculated based on the initial resource assignment and then recalculated when the task duration changes. 11/18/2018 11/18/2018 Presentations Created by C. Hester - Microsoft Project 2007 by Bunin 18

Resource Work Form displayed in a Split View 11/18/2018 Presentations Created by C. Hester - Microsoft Project 2007 by Bunin

Understanding Relationships By default, work is calculated in hours and follows this formula: Work = Duration * Units (W=D*U) (where units refers to resources) Or Duration = Work/Units (to solve for the Duration rather than Work) Effort-driven scheduling is when the work remains constant and the duration is changed Work (effort) remains constant and determines (drives) the way that the W=D*U formula will be calculated. 11/18/2018 11/18/2018 Presentations Created by C. Hester - Microsoft Project 2007 by Bunin 20

Understanding Relationships Cont’d When a second resource is assigned after the initial resource assignment: The work hours remain constant but are distributed among the existing and new resources, and the duration is adjusted to reflect the redistribution of hours. How the relationship between work, duration, and units is balanced is a function of both effort-driven scheduling and the task type. 11/18/2018 11/18/2018 Presentations Created by C. Hester - Microsoft Project 2007 by Bunin 21

Understanding Relationships Cont’d Tasks are, by default, effort driven. When effort-driven scheduling is turned off and a new resource is added to a task with an existing resource assignment, the work (effort) no longer drives the assignment. A fixed-duration task is when effort-driven scheduling is turned off and a new resource is assigned to a task, the duration of the task remains constant and the work (effort) is increased. 11/18/2018 11/18/2018 Presentations Created by C.

Presentations Created by C. Hester - Microsoft Project 2007 by Bunin Task Types Task type is a task field that refers to what will remain constant when additional resources are added to a task. Task types in Project 2007 are Fixed Units, Fixed Duration, or Fixed Work By default, the task type is Fixed Units. 11/18/2018 11/18/2018 Presentations Created by C.

Explanation of Effort-Driven Scheduling and Task Type Relationships 11/18/2018 Presentations Created by C. Hester - Microsoft Project 2007 by Bunin

Creating a Fixed Duration Task Some tasks, such as meetings and seminars, should have fixed durations. Fixed duration means that a task’s work, rather than the duration, changes when a new resource is assigned. 11/18/2018 11/18/2018 Presentations Created by C. Hester - Microsoft Project 2007 by Bunin 27

Adding a New Resource for a Fixed-Duration Task 11/18/2018 Presentations Created by C. Hester - Microsoft Project 2007 by Bunin

Resources and Task Costs Project 2007 uses the next available resource ID when you add new resources. Task costs are calculated by multiplying the work for an assigned resource by its hourly rate plus any cost per use for the task. The cost associated with a task will be $0 until a resource with completed cost information is assigned to the task. 11/18/2018 11/18/2018 Presentations Created by C. Hester - Microsoft Project 2007 by Bunin 29

Presentations Created by C. Hester - Microsoft Project 2007 by Bunin Resource Usage View The Resource Usage View shows each resource that has assigned tasks. Use to filter resources to show a subset of resources that meet certain criteria. Sorting can identify the most costly resource or develop an alphabetical list. Grouping quickly shows you how your resources are organized. 11/18/2018 11/18/2018 Presentations Created by C. Hester - Microsoft Project 2007 by Bunin 30 30

Leveling Overallocations A resource is overallocated if it is assigned more work in a given time period than it has working hours. Overallocations can also occur when resources are scheduled to do more than 60 minutes of work in a given hour of the day. Leveling means to correct overallocations. The Resource Schedule Form can be used to redistribute work when you need to level an overallocation. Redistributing the work to a new resource is a common way to handle an overallocation. 11/18/2018 11/18/2018 Presentations Created by C. Hester - Microsoft Project 2007 by Bunin 32 32

Using the Leveling Tool The leveling tool levels resources. The leveling tool only levels work resources, not material resources. The leveling tool does not adjust task durations, work entries, or resource assignments. The leveling tool levels overallocations by delaying or splitting tasks. 11/18/2018 11/18/2018 Presentations Created by C. Hester - Microsoft Project 2007 by Bunin 36 36

Reviewing Project Costs When resources are assigned, Project 2007 automatically calculates work costs. A material cost is a cost associated with a consumable item or items. A fixed cost is a cost inherent to the task itself. Both work and material costs are entered in the Resource Sheet. Work and material costs are considered variable costs. 11/18/2018 11/18/2018 Presentations Created by C. Hester - Microsoft Project 2007 by Bunin 39 39

Critical Path and Slack The critical path includes tasks that must be completed in order for the overall project to be completed. Total slack is the amount of time that a task can be delayed without delaying the project’s Finish date. Free slack is the amount of time that a task can be delayed without delaying any successor tasks. Apply the Schedule table if critical path is incorrect. 11/18/2018 11/18/2018 Presentations Created by C. Hester - Microsoft Project 2007 by Bunin 43 43

Conditions under which a Task becomes Critical 11/18/2018 Presentations Created by C. Hester - Microsoft Project 2007 by Bunin

Shortening the Critical Path Shortening the durations of tasks on the critical path. Removing unnecessary task date constraints. Entering negative lag time, which allows tasks with Finish-to-Start relationships to overlap. Shorten the critical path by manipulating resources. Assign overtime. 11/18/2018 11/18/2018 Presentations Created by C. Hester - Microsoft Project 2007 by Bunin 45 45
