RESOURCE MANAGEMENT project

hi there ,
would u please help me out in completing this project.bcoz i'm confused of this project.and i have to submit this to my university before july 1st week.plz help me out.
The main objective of this project is to create a resource pool and this should contain data about people, their area of expertise, skill sets, role and current management. Project manager should be able to assign resources from this pool to the project based on current engagement priorities. Another important objective of this document is to describe all essentials requirements and interfaces for the system. This tool will enable the project manager to utilize the resources optimally and to bring down the resource wastage to minimal.
1 Keep track of resources. i.e., which person is working on what kind of a task?
2. Allocation of person with relevant skills to task that suits him.
3. Resource leveling.i.e, a way to resolve having too much work assigned to resources, known as resource overallocation.

What exactly do you not undserstand? Are you having trouble with what technology to use and how it will work or are you having trouble comming up with the design specification?

  • Resource Management of Shared Resource Pool at the Project Level

    I am having difficulty figuring out how to implement our resource management process. Currently we have one "Resource Pool" project that has all the shared resources. It is connected to both a "master portfolio" plan that has some task
    detail in it and other individual project plans that have their own WBS (for larger projects).
    The difficulty arises because we want to do resource allocation at a project level, but the resource usage view shows the WBS/task level detail.  I've tried grouping the resources assignments by resource and then project, but since everything is
    in the "Resource Pool" project, they all group under that project.  I've tried adding the "Project" field and it does show as the source project, but it doesn't group on that field, but rather the "Resource Pool" project
    only.
    How can I see resource allocation/usage at just the project level so our managers can do planning, negotiation, and re-allocation on a periodic basis with one simple view?
    My best current idea is to disconnect all the sub-tasks from the sharer, eliminate the WBS below the project level in the master plan and attach resources at that single line project in that master plan.  Then, we would have to manually alter the "Max"
    available time in the individual sub-plans as we altered allocations.  That essentially disconnects individual plans from both the master plan and the shared resource pool.
    Is there a better way?

    Mark,
    Yeah, I think there is a better way. Having a linked structure the contains both a pool file and a dynamic master is tenuous enough (i.e. prone to corruption), but if you start disconnecting from the pool and and messing with the master, you will most certainly
    invite trouble.
    But here is an approach that might work. I tested it on a sample pool file with two sharer files and I think it might give you what you want.
    1. First, either manually copy or use VBA to copy the contents of the Project field to a custom text field in each sharer file
    2. In the pool file display the Resource Usage view
    3. Create a group that first groups on the Resource Name and then on the Text1 field, and select "group assignments, not resource"
    4. Change the Text1 group field to be "assignment"
    Does that give you what you want?
    To help visualize, here is a screenshot of my test file. After grouping I applied a filter to Text1 with the option to also show summary tasks:

  • Project Online Resource Management

    We will be using project online for Resource Management - managing the workload on many machines - and do this function across the team collaboratively.
    I was wondering how resources are managed in Project online. After loading tasks on my resources/machines , I need to be able to see/view how much workload is distributed on these resources/machines and if I can assign a pending task to the resource or shuffle
    the work around.
    I would like to use 2 project pro and 2 project lite licenses to manage resources/machines.

    msayani2 --
    Firstly, all of your people and machines need to b entered in the Enterprise Resource Pool.  For each of the machines you list, enter a Max. Units value that represents 100% multiplied by the number of machines you have.  For example, if you have
    three road graders, you would enter 300% in the Max. Units column for a Road Grader resource.
    Next, you will need to build enterprise projects, add the required people and machines as team members in the project, assign the resources to each task as needed, and then save and publish each enterprise project.
    To see how the workload is distributed for your resources, navigate to the Resource Center page and select the resources whose assignments and availability you want to study.  At the right end of the Resources ribbon, click the Resource Availability
    button.  On the Resource Availability, select the time range you want to use and you can then see the availability of your selected resources.  You can also click the Resource Assignments button to study how the resources are being used on tasks
    across all projects in Project Server.
    Hope this helps.

  • Resource manager and images being rewritten in the project root

    Hi everybody,
    I began using the Resource Manager, and I created two folders, one with HTML files (topics), and another one with pictures present in those topics.
    As I transferred the topics to the HTML shared folder the pictures references remained the old ones, i.e. the ones inside the project folder, right?
    Therefore I began reassigning the pictures to the ones copied in the pictures shared folder, and here begins to be a little bit illogical and difficult.
    I deleted the pictures from the original project folder as I want to save the space and have, of course, the pictures only in the shared folder, however after I reassign the pictures to one of the topics, and I sync it, the pictures I deleted appear in the root folder of the project.
    I wanted to have the "common" pictures (they appear in 2 different projects) only in the shared folder (declared as pictures folder in Resource Manager) because if I do a modification of one picture, I would like to have this modification propagated in the second project, right?
    And also save some space, as it does not make any sense to me to have the same pictures in 2 places (double space consumed) when I can have them in only one folder.
    I would like to know how I can avoid this recopying of the picture files in my project folder, if possible.
    The procedure I used was:
    1. Found out which are the common topics for the 2 projects and copied them in the Resource Manager shared folder for HTML files.
    2. Found out which pictures were on those topics and copied them in the Resource Manger shared folder for pictures
    3. I included the shared topics into the project, and reassigned the pictures to the ones that are in the Resource Manager shared pictures folder
    4. I saved the topic, and did a sync in the Resource Manger
    Did I do something wrong here?
    Thank you.

    The repository has all the images you may want to use in any of your projects or elsewhere.
    Each time you link in a project, that image only is copied to the project, not the whole repository. If either copy changes, you are notified. You then have the choice of updating the out of date copy or breaking the link because for some reason you now want the difference.
    Your statement "I saw that if I use an external directory to the actual project where I have pictures, RoboHelp will copy those into the project's folder" is not correct. The Resource pod will show all the images available in the repository but only the ones in used in the project are copied locally.

  • Project Server 2013 for Resource Planning & Project Portfolio Management

    We are looking to  use project server 2013 for resource and project portfolio management.  We are an IT department of approximately 600 growing to 1,000 within the next several years.
    We would like to us PS2013 to do the following :
    Manage Portfolio of Projects
    Manage Resources against this Portfolio
    Calculate Project Finances using resource roles and rates
    I would be grateful to have both comments on experience , both positive and negative.
    Thank You

    Many teams within organizations are turning to Project Server to help them control resources, deliverables and costs better.    It does resource management very well with work & cost resources, baseline costs, material costs, budget costs and
    out of the box earned value analysis (EV).  The Strategy (portfolio) component is very powerful and it will help you identify project that align to your objects then do what if analysis to find the right mix of projects.
    Here are a couple of things you should think about when moving to PS2013:
    1) Who will be using the tool?  If it is a mix of onsite staff, remote staff, vendors, contractors etc. you may want to think about a hosted solution.
    2) Training.  Don't assume everyone will just magically 'know' how to use the tool.  Train everyone (team members, PMs, Executives) then train them again.  It's the only way to truly get the value out of the tool.
    3) Who will manage the system?  This is not a typical application.  The right administrator needs SharePoint, Project Server, SQL Server,  MS Project, Analysis Services and SQL Report writing skills.  Please note that much of this can
    be learned by the right person but DEFINITELY find the right person.
    4) Don't start customizing right out of the box.  You will get frustrated.  Adjust your organization to the tool early on.  I know that is easier said than done but you need a realistic approach to get tool acceptance moving early.  
    5) Use workflows but don't use them right out of the gate.  Workflows are great but I suggest you wait until phase 2 or 3 to start aligning them to your business processes.  
    6) Lastly and most importantly, you must first establish your own business processes THEN  align them to the tool.  DO NOT assume the tool will create business process for you.  You must think about how you are going to initiate a project,
    how are you going to track deliverables, how will time sheets be managed, etc.  Get to a whiteboard, crack open Visio and start building and establishing your processes now.  PS 2013 is pretty flexible and usually will align well with existing business
    processes.
    And don't forget to hire a good consultant.  They can be brought in during key phases of your roll-out to add value, help you avoid risks, and provide you with best practice advice.
    Good luck.

  • Project Management and Resource Management Reporting Views

    I am wondering if anyone would have and is willing to share some documentation they may have put together around reporting views related to Project Management and Resource Management modules. We are installing the projects suite and I have never done custom reporting out of these modules and would be interested in feedback or documentation anyone may have related to these or any offer of assistance or direction in designing the reporting views.
    Thank you in advance!
    Matt

    hello Tony,
    What I can say. Maybe you should use SAP PPM as a operational Project Management tool and integrate it with WBS elements and projects in SAP PS. Probably it will be the best solution for you.
    The second way is to use a second project structure for project management as you wrote, with different number of this project. So you will have 2 structures one for actual posting of costs and the second for rest management needs and statistical posting of costs. Probably you will need CO substitution for posting of costs to post costs on these 2 structures.
    There will be many other conditions to get right solution but I think this 2 ways are possible.

  • Resource Assignment without Project Resource Management Module

    Hi Dina,
    We are implementing Oracle projects for one of our customers. The customer does not want to implement Project Resource Management module. Is it possible to assign resources to a project or create a new requirement using the Resources tab in Project screen (HTML page) without implementing the Project Resource Management module. Pls let us know.
    Regards,
    Sri
    Edited by: user12209290 on Nov 18, 2011 9:30 AM

    Hi
    With Project Management you can assign resources to the work plan. Resources might be named people or generic resource by job.
    You can track planned hours by resource versus actual time worked, You can look at roll-up of planned hours across multiple projects for the same resource, or summarization of planned and actual hours using the RBS.
    However, you will not get the functionality of demand published to resource managers, and the search functionality for available person to join the requiring project.

    Hi Dean and Dina,
    Thanks for your answers. Following is the missing info:
    - Yes, we are using the AIA PIP
    - We are using 'Workplan enabled' projects for integration with a 'Partially Shared Structure'
    - In integration options, we are only integrating 'Workplan' with a 'Working Version'
    - We are trying to send only progress information from P6 to Oracle Projects, not the time card info
    Iniitially, when trying to send progress from P6 to Oracle Projects, we were getting the error - 'You cannot update a published version of the workplan'
    However, after checking the following flags, we stopped getting any errors in AIA/middleware and still not getting any data into Oracle Projects:
    Projects --> Setup --> Integration settings:
    Integrate - Workplan - Send Task - Current Working Version
    Integrate - Workplan - Receive Task
    Workplan --> setup:

  • RH8 hangs with 100% CPU when closing a topic. Resource Manager to blame?

    Please refer to the following thread for background information: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/734972?tstart=0
    I'm re-listing this issue, as it has rasied its ugly head again, and I've no resolution this time.
    Summary:
    The original issue was that RH8 would hang whenever I closed a topic for anywhere between 15-30 seconds before allowing me to interact with the application again. Attempting to interact with the GUI during this freeze would result in the 'Not Responding' message at the upper-left of the application window (suffice it to say I'm on a PC with Windows).
    After much investigation it was suggested to me that my profile may be corrupt, and in order to test this, another user should log on and see whether they experienced the same problem. As it is, they did not. So I had my Systems Admin recreate my domain profile, and everything worked just fine.
    ...until now.
    Last week we all upgraded from Windows XP to Windows 7 (32 bit). We also changed our anti-virus software. The awful hanging issue in RH has returned.
    We've attempted the solution from last time, by recreating my profile on the domain, to no avail. We have in fact gone to the extent of reformatting the hard drive and reinstalling Windows, the anti-virus software and RH8 (plus all available patches) from scratch. In case anyone is wondering, we've tried running RH without the antivirus installed, and when installed have also tried excluding the RH application folder and all my project folders, just in case it was the anti-virus software at fault. Regardless, the RH problem exists.
    I can't understand why I'm now having this problem. Truth be told, I never really understood why recreating my domain profile in the first place resolved the problem last time.
    However, I have now discovered something else...
    In my RH Resource Manager I have a few thousand images in the Image folder. Not much I can do about this - the applications I write Help for have many screens users can access, and I write the Help for half a dozen applications. When I delete the contents of the images folder within the Resources Manager, RH works perfectly - no hanging whatsoever. As soon as I import the images into this folder again, the hanging is back. I have tested this a few times now, and have rebooted and had another user log on to confirm, and it happens every time. I'm dumbfounded of course, particularly because the same set of images has been sitting in the Resource Manager for months (since my original post about this issue, last year), and RH has been working perfectly.
    I've also tried Peter Grainge's suggestion to create an empty BaseCSS_res.dll file (http://www.grainge.org/pages/authoring/rh8/using_rh8.htm), but as I've installed all the RH8 updates, this shouldn't be an issue.
    I've also tried deleting the CPD file without success.
    Thanks in advance.

    It seems this has been resolved!
    Many thanks for all the suggestions. Peter ultimately forwarded the solution - something that he'd sourced from a rep at Adobe, as follows:
    Every file/folder change in the root folder of RH8 Resource Manager triggers a rescan of all the sub-folder/files. That is why in case of thousand image it will take time. Like xxxx said we may ask user for root folder, it should not be project folder or frequently changing folder.
    Probably he is using the default path given in the root folder and RoboHelp changes a temporary css file in that folder very frequently, in fact with every topic close.
    That is causing the slowness and it should be easy to reproduce in the default scenario. This is RH8 only issue.
    So, to fix my issue:
    Open the Resource Manager Pod.
    Click the Add/Edit Categories icon. The Add/Edit Categories window appears.
    Within this window, change the 'Root Folder' path to something other than the default. In my case, I create a new folder on my root hard drive, outside of the Robohelp folder, just to be sure.
    So far this is working perfectly - no 'hanging'. I'll keep an eye on it.
    I love the comment "This is RH8 only issue."
    Oh?! Is it? Was it fixed in a patch, Adobe? Please don't tell me that it was fixed in RH9, because there's no way known I should have to pay for an upgrade to resolve something that certainly looks like a bug. As happy and grateful I am to have this resolved, it has cost me a week's work.

  • Resource Manager and Images

    Hi,
    I upgraded to RH9 (from RHX5) and very happily started to use both the Snippet and Resource Manager functionality.
    I seem to have hit a mental block despite reading the help and looking up this forum regarding updating images in the resource manager .....
    I have multiple projects and the same image is used throughout the projects - sometimes only once in a project and sometimes multiple times in the same project.
    Lets say this image is called Picture1.gif - due to program re-design I now need to update Picture1.gif.
    Picture1.gif is stored in Resource Manager and as it is linked then a copy is also stored in my project.
    I delete the old image, create a new image, rename it to the original name Picture1.gif and drag it to Shared Resources and then drag it back again so that it is linked.
    Despite the back and forth steps this does in fact work - the image is updated in other projects as expected.
    However, if an image appears in a project multiple times then I have to change it everywhere before I can rename it,  etc. etc.
    I feel quite sure that I am missing something here and that the whole process should be simpler!!
    I would have expected somehow to be able to update the image in the resource manger and then sync.
    TIA
    Morven

    Hi Morven
    In my own experience, it really shouldn't matter where you update the image, as the Resource Manager is a two way street. If you update in RoboHelp, it should be sensed and the updated image copied from your project to replace and update the centralized image. And likewise, if you update the centralized image, Resource Manager should update your project to match the updated centralized image.
    Again, I woudn't want to first delete the image followed by saving a new one using the same name. I would either open one of them (centralized or project) and edit as needed. Or edit a copy, make edits, then save using the same file name so the existing image is replaced.
    To the best of my knowledge, Resource Manager should sense the change as the date/time stamp should be different as well as possibly the size. Then the automation should kick in to update the image's counterpart and synchronize everything nicely. The only fly in this ointment would be if the new image were different in size from the pixel measurement standpoint. If the new image is wider or taller or narrower or shorter, you would need to ensure that you reset the sizes in your project so they match the new dimensions. Otherwise they will be a bit skewed and have the fun house effect. I believe RoboHelp supplies a script for this.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Command Line and Resource Manager

    When using the command line to compile a Robohelp project, is there a way to update the shared resources within the project before generation?
    For example, say you have Project1 and it is using snippet1 in that project. However, snippet1 has been modified in the resource manager (just say, for argument's sake, that snippet1 is also used in Project2, and you modified the snippet there and synced it to the resource manager). When you do a regular command line compile, the snippet is not updated.
    Is there a way to sync the snippets and images from the resource manager in the project before doing the command line compile (other than opening the project and syncing manually)? After all, if I have to open the project, there's no reason to command line compile since I'm already there and can just compile it from the project.
    Thanks!

    I don't think that is possible as, correct me if I am wrong, even within RoboHelp the images don't get updated automatically. It's something you have to do.
    It's a good point though so I suggest submitting a feature request.
    The more people who request a feature, the more likely it is to be actioned. Please follow this link.

    Hi,
    If you are not using fulfledged HCM module (PA & OM), then you can implement Mini HR to pull the resource to place on project objects through WC.
    Yes, it is possible to have an interface between Sucessfactors and SAP system.

  • Duplicated resources on Project Online

    Creating a user when a respective resource already exists, results in a duplicated resource.                                                               
    This is a Project Online implementation based on Project Server permissions mode.
    Consider this scenario:
    There are 40 employees in the organization: 2 executives, a few project managers and the rest are team members. License for Project Online is purchased for only 10 employees.
    The PMO creates users for the 10 employees on Project Online:
    SharePoint users are created: Web AppàAdminàOffice
    365àUsers and Groups
    Project Online users are created: Web AppàProjectsàPWA
    SettingsàManage usersàNew useràUser
    logon account: type SharePoint user; Mark: "User can be assigned as a resource"
    The PMO creates the other 30 employees as resources on Project Online on Enterprise Resource Pool.
    At this point, all 40 employees are resources on Project Online.
    After a while, additional 5 licenses are purchased. Steps 2.a and 2.b are performed for the respective employees.
    In this scenario, there are 5 employees who are duplicated on Resource Center, i.e. appear twice: one is a non-user resource, and the over is a user who is also a resource.
    How can I avoid the resources' duplication?

    When employees are already present as ressource in Resource center then you need not to create new user for same employee.
    To avoid this situation 
    Open Resource center from PWA then Click on Resource to whom you want to make user then Click on Edit and then click on Associate Resource with user account then give AD account for reosurce and add to the group and click on same.
    Once you will do this your resource will also work as User and there will be not duplication.

  • Zone Resource Management

    Is there anyway to limit the CPU usage of a zone reguardlesss of what the rest of the system is doing?
    I've just now started looking at the resource management capabilities and I see that I can reallocate
    CPU shares, but I'd like to say "ZoneA only gets 50% of the CPU" and even if the entire system is idle,
    ZoneA still can use no more than 50%. Ordinarily I know that doesn't make much sense, if you've got CPU, use it, but I'm worried about heat. I'm debugging a problem were MySQL is running 100% constantly... it's not choking the system at all, but I'd like to cut the maxium usable CPU down to like 10% and ease off some of the utilization of the CPUs.
    Is this possible or is adjusting the schedualing priorities all that I can do? As I understand it, I can set cpu-shares to 10, but if the system is idle and the proccess wants to run 100, it can... the limits only kick in when there is a constraint by other higher priority proccesses/projects.
    Thanx

    I would think this functionality would be required to
    obtain lower costs from ISV's who base their pricing
    on the number of CPUs available to their
    applications. This is one of the reasons my companyOne bit of functionality which was introduced in the Solaris
    Express 8/04 build and can be downloaded now is that
    when resource pools are enabled, a zone will only show
    the CPU elements that are a part of the pool the zone is bound
    to. This means that programs like psrinfo(1M) all of the various
    *stat(1M) commands as well as APIs such as sysconf(3C) and
    getloadavg(3C) will return information based on the "virtualized"
    view of the pool.
