CSellke --
There is no timesheet best practices document. The best practices we
recommend to our clients on the use of the PWA timesheet are as follows:
1. Resources should enter their Actual Work hours each day on each task
assignment on which they worked, and then click the Save Changes button to
save the changes to the Project Server database.
2. Resources should adjust the Remaining Work estimate on the last day of
the reporting period ONLY if they disagree with the estimate. If they
believe the estimate is too low because they have more Remaining Work than
estimated, they should increase the value. If they believe the estimate is
too low because they have less Remaining Work than estimated, they should
decrease the value. If they have finished the task early, they should
adjust the Remaining Work estimate to 0 hours to signify an early finish.
3. If a resource changes the Remaining Work estimate, he/she should add a
Note to the task assignment to document the reason for changing the
Remaining Work estimate. This is an especially good practice for adding
documentation to the project plan.
4. Resources should add Risks, Issues, or Documents to tasks according to
their organization's methodologies for doing so.
5. On the last day of the reporting period, team members should submit
their actuals to the project manager by clicking the Update All button.
6. On the first day of the next reporting period, project managers should
examine, approve or deny, and then update all task updates submitted by team
members during the previous reporting period. Once the project manager has
examined the impact of actuals on each project plan, he/she should click
Collaborate - Publish - All Information to "push" the latest changes to both
the project and each project's assignments to PWA.
Hope this helps.
