This is a good option when you have a program or large project with a number of sub projects, or when you have a large number of small projects which don't require worksites. In a typical case you would have a PMO admin or someone who has the right to create workspaces who would create workspaces when needed for Project Managers.</p> 102 103<p>Creating the settings as above will stop automatic provisioning, but it only goes part way - and more importantly it creates an annoying notification whenever people publish a project. This is annoying to users, but it is also annoying when you are trying to publish a number of projects programmatically because there is no way in VBA to dismiss that message.</p> 104 105<p>But there is a solution to making this notification go away.</p> 106 107<p>For the group (the Project Managers in our scenario) that you do not want to see this notification, deselect the global security setting for <strong>Manage SharePoint Foundation</strong>. This will disable the notification for the members in that group.</p> 108 109<p>One thing to be careful about is changing the group permissions during working hours. If you have a large number of users, changing group permissions can take a while to work its way through the system and you might find that some users lose access to the system while that is happening, so plan to do this when you don't have many active users.</p> 110 111 112 <div class="entry-tags"> 113 <h4 class="entry-tags-header">Tags:</h4> 114 <ul class="entry-tags-list"> 115 <li class="entry-tag"><a href="http://Zo-d.com/mt/mt32/mt-search.cgi?tag=administration&blog_id=2" rel="tag">administration</a></li> 116 <li class="entry-tag"><a href="http://Zo-d.com/mt/mt32/mt-search.cgi?tag=project%20server&blog_id=2" rel="tag">project server</a></li> 117 <li class="entry-tag"><a href="http://Zo-d.com/mt/mt32/mt-search.cgi?tag=vba&blog_id=2" rel="tag">vba</a></li> 118 119 </ul> 120 </div> 121 122 </div> 123 </div> 124 <p class="entry-footer"> 125 <span class="post-footers"> 126 Posted on March 2, 2012 11:55 AM 127 128 </span> 129 <span class="separator">|</span> <a class="permalink" href="http://Zo-d.com/blog/archives/project-server/shutting-down-automatic-site-creation-in-project-server-2007-and-2010.html">Permalink</a> 130 | <a href="http://Zo-d.com/blog/archives/project-server/shutting-down-automatic-site-creation-in-project-server-2007-and-2010.html#comments">Comments (0)</a> 131 132 </p> 133 </div> 134 135 136 137 <h2 class="date-header">July 27, 2011</h2> 138 139 <div class="entry" id="entry-643"> 140 <h3 class="entry-header"><a href="http://Zo-d.com/blog/archives/general/free-from-a-good-home.html">

With good reason. The tires were flat and rotted, the seat was covered in black tape, wheel bearings were completely out of adjustment and it was pretty dusty and dirty. But I cleaned it up a bit, put on new tires, brake cables and pads, and fixed the springy seat. Now it's just the thing for riding around town. It is the only bike I have with a kickstand and is still too ugly for anyone to bother stealing.</p> 146 147<p>Raleigh built versions of this bike for decades and sold them around the world. This one was actually built in their factory in Malaysia, and is near to the end of the line for this sort of bike. The ten speed craze knocked the three speed to its knees in the 70's and then mountain bikes buried the three speed a decade or so later. However, there does seem to be a trend towards a bit more diversity in bicycle types lately, so the three speed may rise again despite the obvious lack of carbon fiber and aluminum alloy.</p> 148 149 150 <div class="entry-tags"> 151 <h4 class="entry-tags-header">Tags:</h4> 152 <ul class="entry-tags-list"> 153 <li class="entry-tag"><a href="http://Zo-d.com/mt/mt32/mt-search.cgi?tag=bicycle&blog_id=2" rel="tag">bicycle</a></li> 154 <li class="entry-tag"><a href="http://Zo-d.com/mt/mt32/mt-search.cgi?tag=raleigh&blog_id=2" rel="tag">raleigh</a></li> 155 156 </ul> 157 </div> 158 159 </div> 160 </div> 161 <p class="entry-footer"> 162 <span class="post-footers"> 163 Posted on July 27, 2011 9:30 PM 164 165 </span> 166 <span class="separator">|</span> <a class="permalink" href="http://Zo-d.com/blog/archives/general/free-from-a-good-home.html">Permalink</a> 167 | <a href="http://Zo-d.com/blog/archives/general/free-from-a-good-home.html#comments">Comments (2)</a> 168 169 </p> 170 </div> 171 172 173 174 <h2 class="date-header">June 28, 2011</h2> 175 176 <div class="entry" id="entry-642"> 177 <h3 class="entry-header"><a href="http://Zo-d.com/blog/archives/microsoft-project-2010/top-ten-reasons-to-install-microsoft-project-2010-service-pack-1.html">Top Ten Reasons to Install Microsoft Project 2010 Service Pack 1</a></h3> 178 <div class="entry-content"> 179 <div class="entry-body"> 180 The Microsoft Project and Project Server 2010 Service Pack 1 were released today.

Without out it you face these potential problems: 184 185<ol> 186<li>Saving a file in the Project 2007 format can corrupt the file. 187 188<li>Project is very slow to respond when you sychronize with a SharePoint Tasks list. 189 190<li>After you set up a new baseline, the "Baseline Work" and "Work" values do not match. 191 192<li>When you remove leveling, pinned tasks that have actuals are moved. 193 194<li>You are editing a project plan that is stored on a remote computer when the remote computer becomes disconnected. You are prompted to save the file locally, and you click OK. If you cancel the save process, any future saves will cause a crash. 195 196<li>When the Team Planner view is opened, Project stops responding. 197 198<li>When you have more than one project open and connected to the server and you save a baselines in one of the plans, the timephased baseline data in the other plan is changed. 199
200<li>Text fields are not visible for a project that is saved in Project 2007 format in Project 2010 and then opened in Project 2007. 201 202<li>Project does not refresh earned values (such as BCWS) when you click F9. 203 204<li>Data corruption occurs for custom number fields. 205 206</ol> 207 208Seems reason enough 209 210 211 <div class="entry-tags"> 212 <h4 class="entry-tags-header">Tags:</h4> 213 <ul class="entry-tags-list"> 214 <li class="entry-tag"><a href="http://Zo-d.com/mt/mt32/mt-search.cgi?tag=bugs&blog_id=2" rel="tag">bugs</a></li> 215 <li class="entry-tag"><a href="http://Zo-d.com/mt/mt32/mt-search.cgi?tag=project%202010&blog_id=2" rel="tag">project 2010</a></li> 216 <li class="entry-tag"><a href="http://Zo-d.com/mt/mt32/mt-search.cgi?tag=project%20professional&blog_id=2" rel="tag">project professional</a></li> 217 <li class="entry-tag"><a href="http://Zo-d.com/mt/mt32/mt-search.cgi?tag=project%20server%202010&blog_id=2" rel="tag">project server 2010</a></li> 218 <li class="entry-tag"><a href="http://Zo-d.com/mt/mt32/mt-search.cgi?tag=service%20pack%201&blog_id=2" rel="tag">service pack 1</a></li> 219 220 </ul> 221 </div> 222 223 </div> 224 </div> 225 <p class="entry-footer"> 226 <span class="post-footers"> 227 Posted on June 28, 2011 2:29 PM 228 229 </span> 230 <span class="separator">|</span> <a class="permalink" href="http://Zo-d.com/blog/archives/microsoft-project-2010/top-ten-reasons-to-install-microsoft-project-2010-service-pack-1.html">Permalink</a> 231 | <a href="http://Zo-d.com/blog/archives/microsoft-project-2010/top-ten-reasons-to-install-microsoft-project-2010-service-pack-1.html#comments">Comments (2)</a> 232 233 </p> 234 </div> 235 236 237 238 239 240 <div class="entry" id="entry-641"> 241 <h3 class="entry-header"><a href="http://Zo-d.com/blog/archives/project-management/5-good-reasons-to-use-earned-value-and-5-reasons-not-to.html">5 Good Reasons to use Earned Value and 5 Reasons not to</a></h3> 242 <div class="entry-content"> 243 <div class="entry-body"> 244 <ol> 245<li>You are getting paid based on it - when your work is tied to a schedule of payments for a set of measureable work it is just a short step away to set up earned value, and it offers a great way of knowing if you are profitable and on schedule. 246 247<li>You are getting paid to do it. This usually means that you are a professional and it shouldn't be too difficult for you. The organization values your efforts. 248 249<li>You are cash constrained - while earned value does have schedule performance indexes and is intimately tied to a schedule, the primary purpose is to know how you are perfoming against your budget. The timescaled aspects of it primarily help you understand if your burn rate is reasonable or not. 250 251<li>You are resource constrained - ok, I lied just above. You can also use earned value to see if you have enough resources to achieve your goals. Adding cost loaded resources to your plan and seeing if you have enough resources to complete the work in time will give you an excellent idea of whether you are fine or finished before you start. 252 253<li>Your management insists on it - what more to say about this? 254 255</ol> 256<p> 257Now 5 reasons not to:</p> 258 259<ol> 260<li>You just don't care - I've worked at a number of places where it just doesn't matter. The cost of the work being scheduled was inconsequential to the overall value of the project. Doubling or tripling the development cost moved the IRR or NPV of the project by a miniscule amount. In environments like that the goal is to complete the work as quickly as possible and the challenge is focusing the team on completion. EV advocates (hey I'm one of them) will state that without knowing your rate of progress you can't know how far you are from the finish, but as financial advisors are legally bound to advise, past performance is no guarantee of future performance. EV is not particularly powerful at focusing the mind on innovative ways of achieving the goals. Driving the team to delivery should be the primary goal. 261 262<li>You don't trust the data - THere are a number of reasons not to trust the information provided by an Earned Value schedule. The initial estimates and budgets may have a very wide confidence interval - which of course should be maintained through out all of your calculations based on it and actions taken based on those calculations. If you are taking (potentially expensive) corrective actions based on a 5 or 10% threshold and your estimates are only accurate to +/- 20% then you may be over-reacting and causing wasteful churn. The flip side of budgets and forecasts is Actual data. How accurate are your measurements? Do you trust your current schedules and forecasts? Do you have inspectors of one sort or another verifying work in place? Is progress measurable? 263 264<li>You aren't getting paid to do it - maybe there are more important things to do? WHen it comes to payback on a system that requires involvement of your team, and EV can have a fairly high involvement, there is an opportunity cost associated with any initiative. everything takes time and money and steals attention. Are the problems solved by using EV your most serious? Is the time of your valuable team members best used caring for and feeding an EV system rather than working on issues and risks and just getting work done? Does it make sense to take the attention of your organization for this? What payback will you see which can't be delivered by a simpler or less intensive system? 265 266<li>You can't do it - Earned Value is fundamentally simple, but it becomes complex when there are a large number of people involved and where a number of different systems need to be brought together to produce the calculations. It becomes more difficult when the types of work to be modeled are diverse across the organizations involved. When people are involved they sometimes need to change and change does not come easy. Not to mention managing change on the project. EV demands good change controls in order to give meaningful results. Do you have change control handled now? If not, manage that first. Do you have the political power and technical expertise to put a large EV system into play? What are your inputs to the system? How timely are they? Do you have a way to capture all of the actuals expended? If you 267capture costs in one system can they be mapped to your scheduling sytem? What will your people put up with? Are your people ready for it? 268 269<li>Your management insists on it - if they are insisting without a fundamental understanding of the costs, benefits and probability of getting good actionable data out of it, you should definitely be afraid that it might not be possible to meet those undefined expectations. Better to explain why and what and move away from insistance and toward informed consent. 270</ol> 271 272Project Management systems and techniques are like plants. You need to take a close look at the soil conditions and weather before you sow the seeds and hope to reap a good harvest. 273 274 275 276 <div class="entry-tags"> 277 <h4 class="entry-tags-header">Tags:</h4> 278 <ul class="entry-tags-list"> 279 <li class="entry-tag"><a href="http://Zo-d.com/mt/mt32/mt-search.cgi?tag=change%20control&blog_id=2" rel="tag">change control</a></li> 280 <li class="entry-tag"><a href="http://Zo-d.com/mt/mt32/mt-search.cgi?tag=change%20management&blog_id=2" rel="tag">change management</a></li> 281 <li class="entry-tag"><a href="http://Zo-d.com/mt/mt32/mt-search.cgi?tag=Earned%20Value&blog_id=2" rel="tag">Earned Value</a></li> 282 <li class="entry-tag"><a href="http://Zo-d.com/mt/mt32/mt-search.cgi?tag=EVM&blog_id=2" rel="tag">EVM</a></li> 283 <li class="entry-tag"><a href="http://Zo-d.com/mt/mt32/mt-search.cgi?tag=project%20management&blog_id=2" rel="tag">project management</a></li> 284 <li class="entry-tag"><a href="http://Zo-d.com/mt/mt32/mt-search.cgi?tag=reasons&blog_id=2" rel="tag">reasons</a></li> 285 <li class="entry-tag"><a href="http://Zo-d.com/mt/mt32/mt-search.cgi?tag=techniques&blog_id=2" rel="tag">techniques</a></li> 286 287 </ul> 288 </div> 289 290 </div> 291 </div> 292 <p class="entry-footer">

Gary Chefetz and Dale Howard have made an art of it with their series of books on Microsoft Project and Microsoft Project Server. Yesterday I finally got a copy of their latest:</p> 602 603<p><strong>Implementing and Administering Microsoft Project Server 2010 for Project Managers</strong></p> 604 605<p>It follows in the same tradition of their previous books giving complete commentary about the new features. But beyond that, and what many other books don't do, is it gives solid guidance about why and when you might want to make use of a feature and how you would use the software to reach your goals.</p> 606 607<p>MSProjectExperts builds their books around roles. This one is intended for Project Managers and it focuses primarily on the configuration and administration of Project Server to enable project and portfolio management. But also includes chapters on how to install and deploy Project Server across an organization. If you are going to use Project Server effectively this book is a must read even if you are not going to be administering the tool as it tells you what is possible and recommended.</p> 608 609<p>I also find that it has enough in it for a Project Manager with little IT support to get the application up and running and sustained.</p> 610 611<p>The advice given about use of the tool and issues with the organization is spot on. There are a couple of items I'd state differently but those are just minor personal preferences. I think there is still room for clarification in some areas - for example, I think that the timesheet and task status section could start with a better introduction - but the information is all there.</p> 612 613<p>Once again I find myself giving it my highest recommendation. If it saves even one mistake or travel down a wrong path it will be well worth it. Go buy it now!</p> 614 615<p><iframe src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=masamikicom0c-20&o=1&p=8&l=as1&asins=1934240095&fc1=000000&IS2=1<1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" style="width:120px;height:240px;" scrolling="no" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="0"></iframe></p> 616 617 618 <div class="entry-tags"> 619 <h4 class="entry-tags-header">Tags:</h4> 620 <ul class="entry-tags-list"> 621 <li class="entry-tag"><a href="http://Zo-d.com/mt/mt32/mt-search.cgi?tag=books&blog_id=2" rel="tag">books</a></li> 622 <li class="entry-tag"><a href="http://Zo-d.com/mt/mt32/mt-search.cgi?tag=project%20server%202010&blog_id=2" rel="tag">project server 2010</a></li> 623 <li class="entry-tag"><a href="http://Zo-d.com/mt/mt32/mt-search.cgi?tag=project%20server%20experts&blog_id=2" rel="tag">project server experts</a></li> 624 <li class="entry-tag"><a href="http://Zo-d.com/mt/mt32/mt-search.cgi?tag=recommendations&blog_id=2" rel="tag">recommendations</a></li> 625 626 </ul> 627 </div> 628 629 </div> 630 </div> 631 <p class="entry-footer">

This was illustrated by my trip last weekend to the San Mateo Maker Faire where the subtext of each exhibit is "how?". How do I make a robot, how do I knit, how do I shoot flames out of a 40 foot steel sculpture? Certainly some people go to the fair for the spectacle or the society or to pay $7 for a hot dog, but I believe most are driven by that fundamental question and the vendors at the fair offer answers in the form of example, tool, training and conversation.</p> 651 652<p>But like any binge, there can be a hangover. In this case I have a pocket full of discount coupons, leds and batteries and a new set of half-started projects and distractions (I learned that both silver and platinum catalyze hydrogen peroxide reactions and I even learned how to knit).</p> 653 654<p>Was it worth it? Well for me it was, just like a cool beer on a hot day. </p> 655 656<p>There is a chemical reaction somewhere in the brain which is releasing something my neurons are hungry for.</p> 657 658<p>I'm inching here towards the proposition that the quest for knowledge is something which is not entirely rational. Sure, it serves a valuable purpose, but like all instincts it can be exploited. A number of vendors at the fair are aware of this. And the same is true outside the fair grounds.</p> 659 660<p>An example showed up in my emailbox this morning, an invitation (OK, corporate mandate) to fill out a "predictive index" survey so that people can know what motivates me and how I behave. A ten minute survey and my motivations, desires and behaviors can be known. So what sort of knowledge is this? Humans are complex, but are not entirely unpredictable. I do not doubt that the knowledge that this survey delivers is true at least at a gross level. But the real question is what is the value of the knowledge?</p> 661 662<p>At first glance it would seem valuable. KNOW WHAT DRIVES YOUR EMPLOYEES WITH AN INVESTMENT OF ONLY 10 MINUTES!!! The proposition seems unbeatable. But the true measure of knowledge is not the absolute value, but rather the derivative of the function. What is the rate of change in my state of knowledge? </p> 663 664<p>At the fair, my kids demonstrated this clearly. "We did that last year" was good cause to skip a booth and move on to something new. "They showed us some new tricks" was praise for the guys manning the soldering stations. In the case of this survey, what it adds to what is already known should be the true measure. And if that answer is zero Knowledge calories, then it is no better for us than a pink and purple puff of cotton candy.</p> 665 666<p>I haven't taken the survey yet. </p> 667 668<p>But the testimonials are all confirmations of its predictive power by people who already KNOW the behavior of the subject under test. It is praised because it tells us what we already know.</p> 669 670<p>Now, with fading memory and all that, my brain gives me a warm twitch even on this sort of recycled knowledge. Trivia games play on this in a highly developed way. So is this sort of survey just a clever party trick or does it really provide value? I'll have to take the survey and find out...</p> 671 672 673 <div class="entry-tags"> 674 <h4 class="entry-tags-header">Tags:</h4> 675 <ul class="entry-tags-list"> 676 <li class="entry-tag"><a href="http://Zo-d.com/mt/mt32/mt-search.cgi?tag=knowledge&blog_id=2" rel="tag">knowledge</a></li> 677 <li class="entry-tag"><a href="http://Zo-d.com/mt/mt32/mt-search.cgi?tag=thought&blog_id=2" rel="tag">thought</a></li> 678 679 </ul> 680 </div> 681 682 </div> 683 </div> 684 <p class="entry-footer">

You can pass (or fail) a large number of questions by knowing (or not knowing) the positive from negative in Earned Value calculations. SV = EV - PV, CV = EV - AC, SPI = EV/PV, CPI = EV/AC so for variances a negative number is BAD and for indexes a number less than 1 is also BAD. We all know that bad means you are spending more or taking longer than planned. Frankly I was shocked by the number of questions on this simple topic.</p> 741 742<p>Second. This experience validated my thesis that it is possible to pass the exam solely using the Guide to the PMBOK as your reference material. There may be a few minor questions which are outside the PMBOX but if you follow up on the references in the appendix then you likely have things covered.</p> 743 744<p>Third. Read the questions. I've worked on a couple of certification exams and believe me that writing the questions is as hard as answering them. There are often many acceptable answers so the person writing the question will have to put limiting words or scenarios into the question so that there is one right or best answer. Look for those words as they will help you choose the answer.</p> 745 746<p>Fourth. Read the answers. Just as writing the questions requires limitations, writing the answers also requires putting something in to make an answer false. There were certainly some answers which were "half-right" but were negated by addition of something irrelevant or incorrect. This and the last point are probably sufficient to pass a quarter of the questions even if you have no idea what the correct answer really is.</p> 747 748<p>Fifth. Cramming apparently works. Psychrometrically the test is supposed to determine if you are a real project management professional, but I think if you have a good memory you can pass this test. </p> 749 750<p>Sixth. Some people advocate a brain-dump technique to write down all the formulas etc. before you start the test. I think this creates unnecessary stress. There were few formulas needed in the test, and if you can remember them long enough to get to the test center, you can certainly hold on to them for another hour or so. In my opinion this is just superstition. That said, the act of writing things down does cement items into your memory, so take notes while studying, but there is no need to worry about carrying all the stuff around with you and barfing it out on paper just before the test.</p> 751 752<p>I hope to continue my series on preparing sometime soon...</p> 753 754<p>Until then, good luck!</p> 755 756 757 <div class="entry-tags"> 758 <h4 class="entry-tags-header">Tags:</h4> 759 <ul class="entry-tags-list"> 760 <li class="entry-tag"><a href="http://Zo-d.com/mt/mt32/mt-search.cgi?tag=pmp&blog_id=2" rel="tag">pmp</a></li> 761 <li class="entry-tag"><a href="http://Zo-d.com/mt/mt32/mt-search.cgi?tag=pmp%20exam&blog_id=2" rel="tag">pmp exam</a></li> 762 763 </ul> 764 </div> 765 766 </div> 767 </div> 768 <p class="entry-footer">
