project update

I need someone to update my microsoft project.It’s due tonight but I can wait til tomorrow. 

 
Step 2: Allocate Resources
Once you have the WBS created in MS Projects, you need to assign resources to each activity. Remember only assign resources to activities, not other items on the WBS. Before you can do this, you need to create a resources sheet in MS Projects. To create a Resource sheet, click on View, Resource Sheet. Enter the Resource name, whether it is a human resource, a cost, or a material. Once this is finished, one can tie these resources to individual activities. Don’t worry about costs, as that is next week’s work.
To assign your resources to the aligned tasks in MS Project, follow the steps below.
Assign hourly resources and costs to the tasks that you have already entered.

Choose View—Gantt Chart. Place active window on the first task.
Click on the Double Headed icon on the upper tool bar (Assign Resources), or click Alt-F10.
In the resource assignment window, select the appropriate resource for each activity.
Repeat for all resources and activities according to the Resource List above.

Analyze Your Resource Allocation and Assignments
There are several methods to check for over-allocated resources.

Click on View, Resource Sheet—Resource(s) in red color are over-allocated.
Click on View, Resource Usage—Resource(s) in red color are over-allocated resource(s) by date.
Click on Project, Reports. A dialog box appears, click on Assignments then Select. Then click the report for Overallocated Resources, and then Select to print or view.
Remember with resources you need to assign how much time (by a percentage) each resource will be allocated to each activity. Simply lowering a given percentage may clear an over-allocation, but in real life this is not possible. One must come up with a better method do clear resource over-allocations.

Week 4 – Update Microsoft Project (Costs)

Most projects have fixed costs to account for. These are such things as mortgages and other costs that do not change with production. Fixed costs need to be accounted for in projects. If your project has fixed costs, follow the following steps.
Step 1 – Update Microsoft Project with Fixed Cost Information
Resource Fixed Cost List Instructions Microsoft Project 2013
The following steps should be followed when setting up your project fixed costs with Microsoft Project:

Go to the gray area at the top of the project on the Duration column and Right Click and choose Insert Column. Type in Fixed Cost and hit enter.
Enter the fixed costs above in the fixed cost column as listed adjacent to the appropriate tasks.

Step 2 Update Microsoft Project with Variable Cost Information
Variable Resource List
Most projects have variable costs. These are costs that change with the amount of work being done. These are commonly seen as dollar per hour costs. Most of your resources will be dollar per hour costs. Follow the steps below to enter this data.
Resource Variable Cost List Instructions for Microsoft 2013
Using this information, go back into the Resource Sheet to update the hourly rate for each resource.

Click on View. Click on the Resource Sheet icon under the Resource Views section. The resource sheet icon is the middle icon on the right of this view with two heads. Check to make sure the Type field is Work and enter the dollar amount above for the hourly rate for each resource in the Std. Rate column.
