Thanks

Microsoft Project Updating - 2 Weeks Only

S
Shane Kelly 👤 Member for 8 years 3 months

Hi All, 

My boss has asked me to provide an update of project porgress for a 2 week timeframe only. This would range from the status date + 2 weeks. When using the 'date range' filter it shows activities that start in this timeframe and finish after it. Is it possible to create a filter to show work complete only in this timeframe. An activity that finishes after this could be 100% complete only within this timeframe but not 100% complete in real terms. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated? 

Kind Regards

Using two different resource rates in MS Project

Hi there, I have a project where I want to track both cost and price within the task view Gantt chart. To explain a little more, each of my resources in the resource sheet has two rates, a standard rate, and then a sell rate which I have put into the custom field "Cost1".

How to speed up a project

Dear All,

I am working in MS Project 2016 with some plannings, mainly product development project plannings with a lot of engineering tasks which I have all scheduled from a starting date onwards and then resulting in an end date.

Now the question I need to answer is how can we speed up a project?

Is there for example a type of resource which is the bottle neck?

What would the effect be if we would use additional external resources?

Questions like that.

Question about leveling

Hi Everyone,

I am working in MS Project 2016 professional. My question concerns leveling.

I have a couple of strategic projects that our R&D department is working on in an one planning. In this planning every stratgic project is a summary task, not a subproject. These strategic project may have in some cases have a predecessor/successor connection but in most situations this is not the case.
