Dear all,
may be a stupid question, but just wondering: how do you communicate "who is doing what and when" to your project team, when doing schedule in MS Project. I do it in the following way:
- In Gantt Chard I create view, which I want to use to communicate schedule (e.g. show spesific columns, filter spesific date range)
- In Gantt Chart I filter activities with Autofilter for a specific resource.
- Then I copy and paste this filtered view into Excel and send to an individual.
This method works well starting from MS PRoject 2010, as functionality to copy from MSP and paste to other office applications has been significantly inproved.
Another alternative is to use Resource Usage view, but it has some disadvantages i.e.. it does not show the place of activity in the overall WBS structure, does not show activities successors and predecessors; other resources, which are involved in the same activity are difficult to see.
Regards.
Evgeny
