How to use Multiple Level Undo, Change Highlighting, and Task Drivers in MS Office Project
Multiple Level Undo, Change Highlighting, and Task Drivers in MS Office Project
In Microsoft Office Project Professional, project managers can visualize the effects of changes and trace back their steps. To turn the Change Highlighting feature on or off, click the View menu, and then click Hide Change Highlighting or Show Change Highlighting. While the feature is enabled, all levels of tasks affected as a result of a change are highlighted with a color as a visual indicator. By using this feature together with the Multiple Level Undo feature, project managers can do what-if analyses by trying a set of changes and then reversing unwanted changes.
If further analysis of a task’s schedule is needed, the project manager can use Task Drivers on the Project menu to determine the factors—such as task dependency, calendar constraints, schedule date, or vacation time—that are driving a task’s start date.

You can assess your selected project portfolio against the Efficient Frontier. (Note: These steps assume you have already run an optimization scenario.) Here’s how:
1. Right-click an optimization scenario, and then click Insight Analysis from the Advanced Analysis commands.
2. Wait while the Efficient Frontier is generated.
3. Analyze the constraints (in the right panel) that are prohibiting the portfolio from reaching the Efficient Frontier.

How to do Task Updates and Timesheet Submittal and Approval in MS Office Project
Task Updates and Timesheet Submittal and Approval in MS Office Project
Team members update project work in the Tasks, My Work section of Microsoft Office Project Web Access. After they submit their task updates, the project manager approves or rejects their time on tasks in the Approvals, Task Updates section of Project Web Access.
At the end of each timesheet period, team members use Import Task Progress to show progress on their timesheets along with any other administrative time spent during the period. Resource managers can review, approve, and reconcile timesheets against reported project work, non-project work, and non-working time.
Use the following steps to review and approve timesheets:
1. In Project Web Access, click the Action pane.
2. In the Approvals section, click Timesheet.
3. In Review My Timesheet Summary, click My Timesheet.

How to Manage Resources in Office Project
Managing Resources in Office Project
When you start assigning resources to tasks in Microsoft Office Project, the durations of the tasks automatically change. To understand why, you need to understand how Project allocates resources.
Project follows one formula for all internal resourcing calculations: Work = Duration × Resources. In other words, if two men take two hours to mow a lawn, one man will take four hours, or four men will take one hour, to mow the same lawn. Now you know why task durations constantly change if you add or remove the resources allocated to those tasks.
You can stop Project from recalculating time schedules in this way by configuring it to keep one parameter fixed and calculate just the others.
1. Open the task's properties.
2. On the Advanced tab, configure the task type as being Fixed Duration, Fixed Work, or Fixed Units (that is, resources). By changing this setting, you can tell Project what parameters in the equation should remain the same, no matter what changes you make to the task.
