Project management subject question?
Question:
Answer:
When developing a project schedule using a project management package such as MS Project, you can set up different calendars for different people.
Each calendar represents when that person (or type of person) is available to work. This might be certain days of the week and/or include holidays and vacations. In might even reflect that some people start at 7:00, others at 9:00, depending on how accurate you need to be.
This way as you schedule a task the tool can check all the calendars to make sure that the required people are in fact available.
each person has his perimeters of operation hence different calendes.
Each one has different responsibilities, so they need different calendars to keep track of their own tasks.
At the same time, every one of the project participants should keep track of an overall schedule that includes everyone's calendar items.
You master calendar could be coded by color. For example, if you have a master calendar, you can insert Analyst A's
important dates in red, Tech Specialist B's dates in blue, and Manager A's dates in green, and so on.
Hope this helps. Good luck with your project!
