I'm a long time but basic MSP project user and I havn't really used resources
before. My task is:
'Find a way to plan and apportion resources over projects' - ie apportion
members of my team to projects on a time basis. I do not for the moment want
to go to the lenghth of assigning resources to individual tasks.
Before putting in a lot of effort I want to find examples of best practice
and see if MSP really is the best tool. Do any of you use MSP in this way
and have you any general advice to pass on. One issue that springs to mind
is how this plan would interlink with individual project plans. I suppose it
would be possible to time them all together in some giant programme - do any
of you do this? My immedeate task, to reitterate, is just to plan my
people's time (there's about two dozen). If I involve individual project
plans these all involve other staff from other departments and I don't want
to get involved with planning everything for my 17,000 strong company.
Many thanks in advance for your help.
