Bottom Up Estimating
Hi all,
New to MS Project and I am trying to set up a template for estimating work, and then creating the baseline to compare the actual against. My issue is the initial estimating part. I have the office's billing rates, the project and sub project duration (fixed) and the fee for each phase of the project (fixed). What I want is for the hours for each worker assigned to each phase to change and give me an estimate hours to keep within our fee. So I want to give the total cost (fee), duration and who is working on the phase and I want Project to calculate the 'Units' percentage to fit the budget. I hope I explained that correctly and is clear what I am looking for. Thank you! |

Sorry - project can calculate work based upon Duration and assignment units - but not based upon cost. I'd set up the information you know (estimated work), cost per resources and let project calculate the projected costs.
You can fix the duration - enter the work and project will calculate the assignment units necessary to get X amount of work done in Y time. |
