Resource pools

How can multiple project access multiple shared resource pools?

RE: Resource pools

Hi Chris,

Thanks for the question.

It's not really practical to use multiple resource pools in the way you describe.

If your aim is simply to keep track of different teams of resource then I suggest you use resource groups, allocating different team members to different groups. You can then track and report on them as you wish.

Regards

Stephen

MS Project tip:

Keep constraining dates to a minimum

As far as possible avoid fixing the dates of your tasks. For example try to steer of clear dragging task bars in the Gantt chart to move them on the timeline or entering dates directly into the Start / Finish fields.

Date constraints such as these limit Microsoft Project's ability to automatically adjust your project whenever you add, remove or modify the duration of your tasks. Instead use the logic in your task dependencies that link your tasks to enable Project to calculate the start and finish dates for you.
