I am looking for better way to manage vacation (PTO) and BAU (% of resource time is always blocked for other administrative work) in Project Server. <br />
<br />
Can i have resource on project server blocked % of time for BAU or if the person is not available on certain days? <br />
<br />
we are currently creating a project plan where we assign resource for certain % which is administrative nightmare. <br />
<br />
Also, for PTO we have another calendar; however, resources are just over used instead of being non available. &nbsp;<br />

Any help?

Manage PTO and BAU in Project Server

Project management is the discipline of carefully projecting or planning, organizing, motivating and controlling resources to achieve specific goals and meet specific success criteria. A project is a temporary endeavor designed to produce a unique product, service or result with a defined beginning and end (usually time-constrained, and often constrained by funding or deliverables) undertaken to meet unique goals and objectives, typically to bring about beneficial change or added value.

Project Management

Project management software has the capacity to help plan, organize, and manage resource tools and develop resource estimates. Depending on the sophistication of the software, it can manage estimation and planning, scheduling, cost control and budget management, resource allocation, collaboration software, communication, decision-making, quality management and documentation or administration systems.

Project Management Software

Most development for the Microsoft platform is done utilizing the technologies supported by the.NET framework. Other development is done using Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) for programs like Access, Excel, Word and Outlook, with PowerShell for scripting, or with SQL for large databases.
