Has anyone tried the multiple project support in
the latest Sneaky Peek?
I posted a comment there, but I thought that here might be a better place. Sorry for double posting!
In the
figure (in the blog post), there is one resource, Andrew, and two projects, Testing and Test2. Andrew is allocated 100% to both projects but he is levelled so that he never actually goes above 100% at any time. That is very very good! Now, it shows him working serially on each project. That is, Andrew works exclusively on Test2 until the project is finished, then he works exclusively on Testing until that too is finished. This is *not* so good.
What we (my managers) need to be able to do is allocate Andrew’s time to each project (not each task) and have those projects proceed in parallel. For example, we might want to allocate 20% of Andrew’s time on Test2 and 80% to Testing, and then have those projects proceed in parallel. We also need UI indicators to tell us if Andrew’s total time, over all projects adds up to 100% or not. Perhaps and inspector panel allowing us to assign and view a resource’s allocation to all projects?
Does anyone here know if such functionality is present (or planned)?
