Reporting on Resource Scheduling
Although it is possible to display any data calculated by resource scheduling in a tabular format, Open Plan also provides a number of views that display resource scheduling results graphically.
For example, to show the potential effects of resource constraints on activity schedules, open the standard resource barchart view after you have performed resource scheduling.
In this view, Open Plan displays bars for both early and scheduled dates. If the scheduled start date is later than the earliest feasible start date for an activity (that is, if a resource assigned to the activity is causing it to be delayed beyond its earliest possible start), Open Plan changes the color of the bar, displays an arrow indicating the earliest feasible start date, and displays the name of the resource causing the delay.
By enlarging the histogram portion of the view, you can compare availability and assignment information for specific resources:
This type of view makes it easy to focus on the resource problems that have a direct impact on schedule performance.
