Benjamin has attended:
Project Advanced course
Resources, teams and names
Good morning!
On our course we spoke about project resources and how to attach them to tasks. We used generic notation, like job titles (e.g. welder, electrician) to name them, which is great, because it is clear what type of person is needed on the project schedule.
I was just wondering if Project has a means of understanding who (e.g. Joe Bloggs, John Doe) held each of those jobs, so you could later allocate actual people to roles after the execution of the project begins? Or is that sort of thing too low-level to concern Project?
Many thanks in advance of any insights
Ben
RE: Resources, teams and names
Hello Ben,
Thank you for your question regarding naming resources.
There is no right or wrong way to do this. Some project managers prefer to use names whilst others use titles... the choice is yours. There is a way to include both name and title into the resource sheet. You can use the initials column by changing the width and editing the title. You can also insert a new text column and use this to add names. Just edit the title.
I hope this resolves your question. If it has, please mark this question as resolved.
If you require further assistance, please reply to this post. Or perhaps you have another Microsoft Office question?
Have a great day.
Regards,
Rodney
