Welcome back to our course on Project 2016 Advanced.
In this section we’re going to take a look at the use of overtime. Have a particular problem here with version 06 of the website schedule in that the current end date is right about the middle of November and we’re really hoping to have all this wrapped up by the end of October.

So what we’re looking at is some way of getting back some of the time that we seem to have lost here. Things are running a little behind schedule. But in any case the schedule was always very tight to finish by the end of October anyway.

Now what we’ve identified is that potentially we could save some time on the testing task. The testing begins in late August and runs right through to the end of October. It’s a task that involves 400 hours of work. That’s 50 working days at 8 hours a day. And we have three different resources working on it. None of the resources are working on it full time but they do have other commitments on other projects and so on. So what we’re looking at here as one option for winning back some time is to get those resources to do overtime work on this task. Now that’s not the only option for clawed back some time but it’s the one that we’re going to look at in this section.

Now one thing that I’d like to cover first of all before we actually apply overtime here is to look at the cost of the testing because one of the unfortunate consequences of overtime is usually that it involves an increase in cost. So let’s just show cost here. And against the testing task, 50 days, 400 hours and it’s $20,500. Okay let’s take a look then at how we might use overtime here.
I’m going to display details and then in details I’m actually displayed work. Now note this 400 hours of work is divided very conveniently between three resources. 100 hours for Northern Farm Foods, 100 hours for Toby, 200 hours for Bakersfield Associates. Units 0.25, 0.25, 0.5.

Now this is not quite the same as the baseline work that was originally established here but I’m going to ignore baseline work at the moment and we’re just going to deal with overtime.

Sorry, we couldn't fit the entire video transcription here since YouTube only allows 5000 characters.
