For whom who are using MS Project to develop the the project's tasks schedule they used to do the following
- First they start with the high level deliverables
- Then decompressing till the WP level
- Then create tasks under each WP
- Then estimate the duration
- Then assign the resources
- then ..
- ...
ok, let us go back to the bold step "Then assign the resources", well, but according to PMI methodology there is a missed step which is
- Then determined the skills required for each task
For example: the task "Installing MS Sql 2005" required the following skills
- Systems administration
- DB Administration
So, i can imagine that when assigning resource for "Installing MS Sql 2005" then system should not show me the name of our chairman for example as one of the available resources !
It should list only
- Resources who are available
- Resource who is not occupied or busy with other tasks at that time
- Resource who owned the required skills
Right!
otherwise you will find yourself building non realistic plans for your project
