Examine each activity in your project schedule and attach a name from the list of resource names from your resource sheet. Ensure that all activities in your project are resourced. Upon completion, your Project Libre file should look similar to the resourced office relocation project example, as follows:
After assigning resources, click on View and Resource usage. Examine the tabular report of resource utilization and cost. Further, return to the Gantt view and click on the Resource Histogram tab in the upper right-hand corner of the Project Libre display.
Prepare a one-page report answering the following questions:
1. Are any of your assigned resources over-utilized? If so, which ones, and why?
2. What, if any are the cost implications of your resource assignments?
3. Now that you have viewed the resource report, would you make any changes to your resource assignment? If so, what would you change? If you would not make changes, explain your rationale.
In your project scenario, you assigned resources to your activities. Create a report summarizing: (1 page)
- The source of your resources (from where, would you acquire them?)
- Resource costs: How did you determine the cost of the resources?
- Resource conflict: Do you have sufficient resources to get the job done, or do you observe potential resource conflict? If so, how do you intend to resolve them?
