Please help. I'm very new to MS Project and have been asked to set up a QA Project resource alignment effort.



Essentially I need one “Project” that shows:

Each project on the annual alignment:
• Project Name
• Projected available QA Start date
• Projected QA End date
= (Available duration in days and/or hours)
• QA Estimate/Effort in hours
• Assigned QA resource(s) for each project
• QA Start Date
• QA End Date
• Assigned daily QA hours to the project

To show:
- Hours remaining to QA
- Hours remaining of QA

In addition - a place where each analyst can update daily hours spent on QA
to provide % complete. (Hours performed vs. QA est./effort)

In the end to show allocation (annually) by project and/or resource.

So I was thinking of creating a Parent task which is essentially the project "Project 1" with sub tasks "Project 1 - Resource 1" and "Project 1 - Resource 2".

This way I could do a report on the task Project 1 or tasks %Resource 1

I really hope someone can help! Thanks in advance.
