More than a Work Breakdown
Showing a Resource Breakdown
The default for displaying a project's structure or hierarchy is by the Summary Tasks and Tasks in a project. Use the
Grouping feature in WBS Schedule Pro to display alternate hierarchies. For example, if you have Resources assigned to the Tasks in your project, you can display a Resource Breakdown by selecting
Edit Groups (on the Home tab) and selecting
Resource Names from the
Group By drop down list.
In the WBS Chart View it would like something like this (the Project Summary Task option was selected for this example to show a top box):
|
|
|
(A WBS Chart grouped by Resource Names)
|
Or, as a Network Chart:
|
|
|
(A Network Chart grouped by Resource Names)
|
Assign a Resource to a Task by dragging a Task from the
No Resource Names group into a Resource group or drag a Task from one Resource Group to another to reassign the Resource.
To go back to displaying your project by Summary Tasks and Tasks, click
Edit Groups on the
Home tab and select
Use Default Grouping.
For more information on using the Grouping feature, go to
Help, click the
Using WBS Schedule Pro topic and select
Groups and Outlining Defined or
Changing and Editing Groups.
The Grouping feature is a great way to show alternate hierarchies in a single project plan.
