From: schedulerkh on 26 May 2010 13:11 I am using Microsoft Project 2007 to schedule multiple projects for a group of 20 people - sharing resources. We are looking at the workload projections for both the groups and individuals, and need to see scheduling conflicts. I would like to be able to view a report of each resource with a list including: resource name, project name, task name, starting date, finish date, and remaining work. I haven't been able to find a way to do this. If you know how, please reply... thanks for your help! -- schedulerkh ------------------------------------------------------------------------ schedulerkh's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/members/224946.htm View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/microsoft-project/1340840.htm http://forums.techarena.in
From: Andrew Lavinsky on 26 May 2010 13:58 Pull up the Resource Usage View. Go to Projects > Group By, and create a new group to group by the following fields: 1) Resource 2) Project Then add the fields required. That should get you close to what you're looking for. - Andrew Lavinsky Blog: http://blogs.catapultsystems.com/epm > I am using Microsoft Project 2007 to schedule multiple projects for a > group of 20 people - sharing resources.

Your concerns do not seem to be serious for many experts. As far as I know, schedule conflicts do not arise when you use automatic resource leveling feature of MS Project. Have you resolved your ssues including schedule conflicts following Andrew's suggestion? I thought this requirement is quite common in many multi- project environments involving shared resources of limited capacity, particularly when resources have different skill sets. Regards, Prasad
From: Jan De Messemaeker on 27 May 2010 08:39 Hi Rob, 1. No, there is no way of showing remaining work only in the right part of a Usage View 2. You can show %complete. IMHO best is to update the project such that all work before the status date is done, and all work after is remaining (Update Project form makes that easy) ; then you do not need both lines.

FYi that automatic leveling is generally not recommended as it wreaks havoc on schedules. My preference is to use manual leveling on a resource by resource basis. Also note that this newsgroup is imminently to be retired.
