How long have you been using Microsoft Project? They may be blunt but my intent is only to seek information that will allow me, or someone else who may jump in, to help you. I very much want to help you but without this type of information, I don't know how to help you.

"Eng" for design, "Tst" for test, etc.), or a combination. "1" for design, "2" for test, etc.), a descriptive identifier (i.e. Type of "activity" definitions all project tasks associated with the design effort will be identified with the design activity code, all tasks associated with the test effort will be identified with the test activity code and so forth.

For example, "responsibility" is NOT an activity, at least not in the common definition of the word.Ĭan you give me an example of some "activities"? From my viewpoint, one "activity" might be the design effort, another might be the test effort, another might be the business effort on the project, and so forth for all major elements. Included in your contract, without any explanation as to what it really means. It appears you are quoting something your client told you or has I read it, twice now, and it doesn't explain what the "activity codes" are supposed to represent. This is a repeat of the post you made on Saturday. Sorry but we're just not on the same page. If you are simply reading something from your contract Statement of Work, (and sometimes thoseĬan be very nebulous), then perhaps you should ask your customer for a more thorough explanation of what they want and why. If the above still doesn't give you what you need, then if you could give us an example of tasks with an "activity code", we would be better able to help you. What is the purpose of the "code"? Does your contract have numbered contract milestones? If so, then a text field can be used Normally I think of a code as an alphanumeric designator like a WBS. The part that is confusing me is the use of the word "code".

Of course, ultimately the Program Manager is responsible. CAM), and he/she was responsible for their part of the project (e.g. In our case, that person was called the Cost Account Manager, (i.e. That's fine, you can use a text field for that info. accountable), for each task or groups of tasks. The "responsibility" doesn't sound like an activity code but rather the name of a person who is responsible, Okay, I can see where certain tasks will feed into preparation of data for each CDRL but I don't quite understand the statement about activity codes.
