Microsoft Project 2007 (Part 1 Review)

Here's a quickie of what is in this new parcel

MULTIPLE LEVEL UNDO
Previously undo is only available ONCE.
Pro- Helps those newbies to backtrack their errors done 4 hours ago!
Con- Data integrity is questioned as changes can be "forced" on


What if situations
This new gimmic allows you to get a feel of what will happened to the project when a change comes into play, yet keeping the original program intact.
FINALLY A SOLUTION MARKING THE DEATH OF SAVING AS BASELINE

Colour Bands
The whole program can now be colour banded to show areas under different constraints, previously this can be done using GROUP BY

Multiple Types of Charts
The title says it all

BASELINE USE from Yazeer of Borneo

Yeargh!!!! May I add, Doc to spice da blog wee bit?

No ONE RIGHT answer for this

My short 2 pesos view:
Users of program, its your choice of how to manage your project :)
i.e how you plan, track progress, manage changes, note stuffs, how to impress the client & the aweks/jantans etc
Use what's working and what's you're comfortable with.

On the program use, baselining may be useful if:
1- Your tracking is update resource usages; or update Actual Start/Finish/Duration/Remaining Duration (instead of update %) = Doing those updates may affect the START/FINISH parameters. so your gantt chart will look nuts = Client (non-Doc Syed's stud-ent) confused, unhappy, your boss unhappy etc

2- For less-confusing graphical presentation purposes (you need to adjust the layout of your Gantt Chart to show only BASELINE BAR)

As long as you don't confuse your client, should be fine!

Confused w my typings? Just stick to what Doc preached!
