I want to introduce a new revolution idea on Resources ManagementI want to introduce a new revolution idea on Resources Management, because:
Problem of Existing Project Software on Resource Management: 1. "Resource Collection" is one important kind of Task, but this process is always missed. 2. Manage Tasks & Resources quite separately. Gantt Chart conceptually & mainly manage momentary causal relationship of Task, but not momentary & physical causal relationship of Resources intuitively. As a result, its momentary relationship can only be shown in a seperated report system, while its physical relationship cannot be shown. Suggested Solution: 1. Define & Distinguish 2 kind of resources: Raw Resources & Secondary Resources. Raw Resource = On-Hand Resource before project start Secondary Resource = Resources built on / exchanged from / earned by another resource (whatever raw or seconday) 2. Manage Resources AS we manage Tasks. Therefore, in Task Panel, both original fields, Precedent task and Resource, are combined into one "Input" field. While the original Task field is also changed to Output field that accept entering whatever Tasks or Resources. 3. So, use Gantt Chart to handle Resources as well. Its existing feature can naturally help us to: a) Unify different operations for managing task & resource, making entire operation simple. b) Control Resources' time property more Prominently. c) Build Resource Leveling, since Resouces leveling = Task Leveling (i.e.Sub-task) naturally. e.g. I have made preparation & collect different resources for a few months, and then use them in one day event. On-Hand Demonstration: I have demonstrated above model in attached file. Since I find that this model is very similar to those Financial software (e.g.Ms Money, Quicken), I will use Financial software as an analogy, to make you easier in understanding. i.e. Use Finanicail Model to replace existing Project Model. Rmk: In fact, Financial software is similar to Project software BASICALLY. The former manage registry/transaction & one kind of resource(i.e.Money), while the latter manage task & multiple kinds of resource (inc. Work hour, Material =>Money). Ms Money give one concise feeling, but Ms Project often give one uncontrollable and constrained feeling. 無限電郵儲存量,立即使用Yahoo! Mail,你就無需再擔心收件箱儲存空間會否過量!
