Item number 3, first paragraph, second line |
The text says, "It also shows up in the Gantt chart above the task's task bar ..." Shouldn't above" should be "next to"? The resource name appaers next to the task bar, as shown in Figure 3-9 and in the description accompanying Figure 309.
Note from the Author or Editor:
"above" should be "next to" |

The paragraph entitled 'Displaying a WBS in a Hierarchy' references the "WBS Modeler" and that it is for Visio Professional (2007 or 2010). This is incorrect... it does NOT work if you are using Project 2010. In fact you will wind up with a disk problem... but chkdsk will not be able to run if you download this utility. You will have remove it manually, if you can find it.
Note from the Author or Editor:
In the sidebar on page 88, delete the second paragraph that talks about the Visio WBS Modeler. Then in the next paragraph, delete the word "also". |

Table 9-2. Fixed durationtask type, effort-driven schedulign turned on |
The table indicates that for a fixed duration task adding a resource when effort-driven sceduling is truned on causes the units to decrease for each resource. However, when I try this, the work changes for each resource and the units stay the same. Do you know why?
Note from the Author or Editor:
When editing a task that already has work completed, Project keeps track of another field called peak units. So, it now remembers the original assigned units for the task as well as higher units to complete the task in the timeframe. |
