Does anyone have any strong feelings about the COCOMO system, function points the whole shebang. It looks like a reasonable tool I could use for my department but it's also kind of heavy.


Nevermind i spent forever researching it. It's old and clunky but that's how we roll here in the creating vba macros / sql databases department

If I were a full-time project manager I would gladly use the bottom up approach because of how many levels it makes sense, however I think I might have like an hour to figure out how long it'll take to progress something so I found cocomo to work? Is there a hey go quote this project for me in 30 monies kind of an approach with no documentation?


I feel like our org spits in the face of pm a lot

Project management is the most made up scientific sounding loving field I've ever heard.

How do i tell MS project that when using a resource pool, please schedule the dates according to the workload and based on the resource being used. IE bryan's calendar doesn't have availability until 08/25, so don't schedule him until then, and on a 80 hour project if i put the start date please schedule it out 2 weeks.

I'll try it out thanks. Are there better options for this resource planning stuff because it's a nightmare.

It's so normal.

So insanely normal. Though this seems like a soft skills question more than a pm one since it could happen to anyone does it not?
