From: Iceman on 30 Apr 2008 05:54 Hello In a project plan is there a way to enter risk by tasks. In the "Collaborate" menu all the items are disabled, i think because we are not using the "Project Server". Is there a way to bypass this? Thanks
From: JulieS on 30 Apr 2008 07:22 Hello Iceman, As you note, the collaborate tab is used in conjunction with Project Server and Windows Sharepoint Services and only become enabled when Project Server is installed. Depending upon what you wish to track, you may be able to use one or several of the spare text fields to keep information specific to tasks. I hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.

From: Iceman on 30 Apr 2008 07:58 Thanks Julie We are in the process of implementing the Sharepoint Services, it will take some time.... but now I want my project plan to be as good as possible. This is my 1st project on MS Project, so I don't want to bother, as there are lots of resources that I should read as I am going further. Concerning the spare text fields, actually I used the "Task Notes" to write remarks but what I was really thinking of is to have a way showing the risks and alternative plans to be adopted based on the outcome of a specific task. As I understand one way to do that is to create several Projects then a Master one. Then create links from the Master Project file to the others. So, based on a task outcome, what is the best way to represent the next flow of actions.

Hello Iceman, You're welcome and thanks for the feedback. As far as the "what-if" and decision tree options, there aren't many options in Project. As you suggest, creating multiple copies of a file with different scenarios is commonly used. If there are differing trigger point which may lead down differing project paths, you could also model those scenarios and then attach the appropriate scenario in the master. (Make sure you disconnect the other choices.) Some folks also place tasks in project files that are then either deleted or the duration is set to zero to remove those items from the schedule, cost, and resource calculations. You may also find a third party product that does what you need. See the list of companion products at: http://project.mvps.org/comprods.htm I hope this helps.
