Can someone provide a clarification about use/meaning of Skill Types and Project Role Types in the ofBiz Project Manager module? The following are some of the uses of those concepts that are implemented and that, with features currently implemented, seem difficult to integrate. 1. Each Person (Party) can have one or more Skills (defined in screen Party > Party Skills) 2. In the Project Manager module, each Person (Party) can have one or more Roles (defined in screen Project > Resources > Role(s)) 3. For a Task, the quality and amount of effort required for it to be carried out are described in terms of Skills: Skill Standards are defined at Task level and are used to compute the Total planned Hours for each Task and the Project as a whole. 4. For a Task, the need of resources with time is defined at a Project's Task level in terms of Role Types: when Resources (Persons) are assigned to Tasks, together with a From - Through date interval, they are assigned to play a given Role Type (screen Project > Task > Resources) . Multiple assignments date interval + Role Type can be defined for a same Person to a Task. 5. When a Person enters Timesheet data (My Time screen) only the Project/Task Name is required. Neither the Role Type nor the Skill that the person has played in the hours recorded in the Timesheet are requested. The separate use of Skill Standards for Tasks (with estimated People number, Duration and Cost) and of Project Roles for Resources assigned to Tasks (with From-Through date periods) seems to make it difficult to plan and monitor assignment of persons to Tasks with time taking based on the type of ability or organizational role they play. Any help and comment will be truly appreciated. > Many thanks, > Armando >
