They say they want a resolution: white paper (Project Server 2010)

Published: December 13, 2011

This white paper describes some common challenges you may face when scheduling projects. It describes coming up with the best approach when you try to determine how long tasks should be and how many tasks there should be to optimize a project schedule. It discusses how different industries typically require different types of schedules (for example, software development, EPM (engineering, procurement, and construction), and plant shutdown). It also discusses several factors in choosing project resolution (for example, length of project, resources involved, management or division of resources, speed and effort required in collecting data, and data update schedule).

This white paper is written by Chris Vandersluis of HMS Software, a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner.
