New PM in a growing team looking for specific software

Hi all,



I am currently working in a really fast growing team and our project manager is starting to struggle through it. In a couple of months our team has almost doubled, she can't keep on using Excel to manage all of our tasks and keep us all on track. I feel really bad for her so I'm looking for some software for her to help her out.

Multiple resource - problems on progress update (hours distribution)

D
Dean Pearcy 👤 Member for 20 years 2 months

I'm really hoping someone can help me out with this one.

I have a new prgramme that contains activities with multiple labour resources, as numerous people have an input into each activity. However, they all have different input levels, an example....

I have a design activity to produce a specification, and 40 hours assigned to the task. The Mech designer is assigned 30 of these, the lead designer 8, as a checking function and the document controller the remaing 2.

MIlestone Cost

Hi,

Is there any way in P6 to show the milestones and their corresponding costs in P6 ? In short, am not sure if possible in activity view/gantt chart or Resource Assignment to show together the Milestones and their costs. I've tried to show them in Resource Assignment but the milestone dates are not showing. Note that the required cumulative cost should be cumulative.

P6, Role Profiles: What is an Unstaffed Remaining Units

Learing to use Roles (1st time user for Roles, expereinced w/ Resource Ids) and creating associated profiles in the panel below (in P6). I was in process of creating the Staffing Profiles and came across Unstaffed Remaing Units.

On the created profile, I am seeing "Staffed Remaining Units" and "Unstaffed Remaining Units". I do not understand the difference b/w Staffed and Unstaffed.

Dear Members;

I need some tips regarding budgeted labor unit in P6 schedule;

Case:

I have a construction project with only one resource loaded (labour) and its assigned to all the activities with the budgeted labour units as per quantity of each activity, now how I can determine the percentage complete at WBS level as P6 calculate the Percentage complete with Budgeted Cost at WBS level.

 

Regards;

Siddiq

Risk of having multiple users for a single project

E
Ellie R 👤 Member for 10 years 10 months

Hey All,

I am so intrested to know your experience in having multiple planners for a single project. I am thinking about all of the risks which are associated with having about 8-10 planners from different locations for a single schedule in a share database. Curently, we have a seperate schedule for each sub-project, but and we are going to combine them all into one single schedule. what are the risks? any possible data loss? mistakenly deleting activities,lower speed, etc ?
