To allow the resource manager to collaborate with the project manager, Project Online now has an area for the resource manager to view and approve or reject all proposed resource contracts. The resource manager (or line manager) is a people manager who may not want to use the full Project client. Once a locked resource is assigned to a project for a duration of time, managers of other projects will get notified if they try to overbook a resource.
The project manager will always have an up-to-date view of the status of their requests from within Project Professional 2016 or Project Pro for Office 365. With Project 2016, it’s now possible to systematically request a resource, and once approved, lock that resource to guarantee it’s available.Ĭreating an engagement and submitting it for approval sets off a simple workflow that enables the resource manager to approve or reject the request. Resource Engagementsįor project managers, securing resources to ensure your project is properly staffed has always been a challenge.
In addition to resource management, there are a host of improvements and new features to help you be more productive with Project, such as improved timelines, Tell Me integration and full support for Office add-ins. Project 2016 now provides an end-to-end experience for managing and optimizing your resource utilization. Supporting these key capabilities are enhancements such as new Resource Engagements, a brand new experience for resource managers, and Capacity heat maps. Project 2016 delivers on some of the most requested capabilities: Resource Management and Resource Capacity Planning. This release includes significant updates to Project Professional, Project Pro for Office 365 and Project Online.
We are excited to announce availability of Project 2016.
