2003 Admin Project Limitations????

Randy

I'm about to implement an Admin Project and was just told that you can only
assign 500 resources per project (for instance 50 resources on 10 tasks). I
have not found this documented anywhere and am looking for confirmation. I
was hoping to set up one admin project with approx. 8 tasks and assign all
800 resources to each task. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

I would recommend that you seriously reconsider assigning all 800 resources
to each task. I beieve that such a project would be an administrative
nightmare to manage! Instead, I would recommend that you use an alternate
approach, such as creating a separate administrative project for each team,
department, business unit, or something like that. If you need to view the
total information across all of the administrative projects, you could
create a temporary master project containing each administrative project as
a subproject. Just a thought.

Dale,

Actually, I would prefer to have each team have their own admin project but
we are not sure the maturity level is where it needs to be yet (as far as
methodologies, work flow, etc...). I will revisit this.

Do admin projects have limitations as far as the number of resources and
tasks go?

Thanks!

I'm not aware of any such limitations, but I could be wrong. Where did you
get the information about limitations?

Microsoft gave us a guideline close to what you are stating; 600 assignments
and 50-60 resources max.

This is one of those word of mouth things that we heard during the Technical
briefing session in June.
