Today we are using demands as a pre-project item to obtain resource estimates, confirm project execution, security reviews, etc. The resource group estimates are entered into the demand and will flow over to the project when created. They are in the unassigned status. The Start and Due Dates are used for the approved start and end dates of the project, when it's created from the demand.
In PPW using prioritized demands and active projects, the allocated resource hours are rolled up to show total capacity for those BOTH resource groups. Compare this to active projects only, and you get an accurate view of capacity to start another project.
Is anyone using the Resource Assignments in a demand to document, but not assign resource allocations?
Shouldn't the Demand Due Date reflect the day before the Planned Project Start date?
Thanks for listening.
