Resourcing #1
I have set up a large number of small scale projects. I have also set up a master project which will link all of the individual projects together. Is it better to assign resources to each individual project or to the master project?
RE: Resourcing #1
Hi Bradley
Thank you for your question
Your best bet would be to set up a "Common Resource Pool". You do this by creating a new project file and entering all your resources in to its resource sheet. You then save the file without any tasks. You then open up all your individual project files and tell them to get their resources from the resource pool file (Tools-Resource Sharing-Share Resources)
You can then open a master file whenever you open the resource pool. This will show all the projects together and you can allocate resources there as well as resolve resource overallocations
This is covered in detail on our project intro/intermediate course
