Project for Teammanagemet

[tobias.henz]

Has anyone an idea how I can use MS Project 2007 to manage a team and
not just a singel project. What I want is a tool that gives me an
overview for each team member. I must only know on which days a team
meber is working on which project.

Is there a way to do that in Project 2007 or Sharepoint 2007?

Could you provide some more information?

What is the duratin for your tasks, and do you plan to report time
against the projects?

Thanks for the information - Ted Ploszaj

Project is probably not the best app if that's all you really want.
While it's capbable of giving you what you want, you'd have to set up
all the various projects, then assign resources to each, then create a
Master Project, or use some of the features of Project Pro, just to
get a list of who's doing what on any given day. Project is really
intended for scheduling entire projects, as many as you want, and to
get the correct resource assignments you need to have those projects
scheduled and they'd need to be updated frequently.

If I were doing what you're asking, I'd use Excel or some dedicated
resource tracking software instead of Project. YMMV.

Hope this helps in your world.

Tobais,

The way to accomplish this with Project is to:

First, develop a MS Project file for each project your team is working on.
Second, assign your team menbers to tasks in each project.
Third, create a Resource Pool Project that contains no tasks, only Resource
Infomation.

From there the many resource views and reports in the Resource Pool Project
file will give you what you need. It's pretty simple.

Thank you all

I didn't know the Resource Pool Project. But to setup all projects
isn't possible and to compilicated. I prefer the way that Dave
proposed: To use a deticated resource tracking tool. Does someone know
a useful and handy tool?

Google is your friend!

If you want to track and maybe do some reporting into Microsoft
Project, will tasks in Outlook work for you?
