I thought motivation to do a job well, should come from within a person, and external forces didnt have much role to play. My belief started changing when I  went through my first performance appraisal, where I was the appraised. We used to have a yearly performance appraisal, where we had to fill a form before being appraised. I found it difficult to fill many of the questions in that form. In fact I wasnt sure about  the expectations of my manager and what would make him happy. While I had trouble remembering what I actually did during my initial months, it was ironic that I need to give my perspective of  how well I did the work! I tried to give safe marks to most of the questions and was hoping for the best. So when I had to meet  my manager on my performance appraisal,  I was ill prepared to defend my marks and  was fervently hoping my managers memory would be as bad as mine! However, during the appraisal I was made to realize one important aspect of the human memory. Human memory is programmed to remember all the things which it is supposed to forget! My manager remembered in gory details all the broken promises, buggy code and delayed releases of products I was involved in.

Without a proper tool to support, project manager has to remember the working times, holidays, working days of his team members manually while planning, reassigning the tasks. Now with the latest release of the Project Planner, with the help of resource dependant calendar, project manager can automatically get warning messages whenever he/she is assigning a task to the person who is on leave or whose working times do not match. The resource dependant calendar uses the company calendar as the base calendar. Hence the company holidays are automatically taken care of. Read on to understand more about the resource dependant calendar…. Introduction For any project manager, planning a project becomes difficult when all of the team members of the project are not working according to a globally defined calendar. For instance, Tom may be working on the project everyday from 13 pm to 17 pm and Stephanie might leave for maternity leave during July. All of these will impact the project schedule. In the earlier versions of the Project Planner it was not possible to set calendar for the resources and hence project managers had to keep track of each individuals’ working times and holidays while planning the project. Hence to help the managers with the different working times of his/her team members, a new feature, resource dependant calendar has been introduced in Project Planner. Resource dependant calendar can be defined as the one, which stores expected working and non-working days and hours for a particular resource. Non-working days usually include weekends, holidays and vacation days. With this new feature of project planner it is possible to have a working times calendar for each of the resources so that the Project planner automatically considers this calendar for the task allocations. For instance, say Pe      ");

Project planning is one of the first major activities a project manager needs to undertake once a project is approved. This activity plays a crucial role through out the project and it makes sense for project managers to arrive at realistic plan for a project to begin with. Hence this activity demands great attention from the project manager. Project planning involves drawing the activity (task) plan, resource plan, and schedule within the constraints of a given budget. During this phase, a project manager views the project in terms of a Gantt chart, PERT or network diagram and ensures that the plan has a very good chance of achieving the scope within the given schedule with the resources allocated. Also the manager breaks down the work (work break down structure) into smaller tasks to achieve better control. What does Work breakdown structure really mean? Every project has well defined objectives in terms of schedule, scope and resources. It could be something like Building the biggest aircraft the world has ever seen and deliver to our customer by January 1, 2006 at a unit cost of 100 million USD. This objective is pretty broad and it is not possible for one person to achieve this. It perhaps needs thousands of people possessing various skill sets to accomplish the task. So the scope is broken down further into easily manageable chunks of activities, which can be monitored. This is called a work breakdown structure (WBS). WBS is a hierarchic breakdown of a project or major activity into successive levels, in which each level is a finer breakdown of the preceding level. A WBS of a project looks a lot like the contents page of a document that displays the document split into sections, chapters and pages. The items within a specific level of WBS are numbered consecutively       ");

Today I cannot start SmartWorks server. How do I know what is happening? When I try to start server it briefly flashes on the screen and then closes down without installing the service. Any ideas? This could be due to one of the reasons given below: 1. TCP/IP may not have been installed or configured on the PC where SmartWorks server is running. If this is the case, you may have to configure your PC to support TCP/IP. 2. SmartWorks server runs at port number 6900 by default. If another service is running on the same port, the server will not start. In this case, you need to change the default port number to some other number say 7900, by invoking server manager. 3. It could be possible that the server is running but the icon is not seen. To check this press CTRL + ALT + DEL together on a win 95/98 machine or invoke task manager on an NT machine and see if the swserver.exe is running. Please close the server and start it again. I have installed the SmartWorks server. What are the configuration settings that I need to do now?

I get error “Your current license is for limited users; Server returned an error 402” on one of my PC. Do I need to work on same workstation always? How do I resolve this problem? 5 licenses means 5 work stations independent of users. That is how SmartWorks licensing works. You can clear all the registered licenses from SmartWorks server by an option provided at SmartWorks server. New set of licenses gets registered automatically when clients connect to the server.

Is it concurrent licensing? The user licenses are seat licenses. A user is a PC. So when we say 10 user license we mean a 10 seat license. The licenses are tied to the work stations where you have installed the software. Say you have purchased the server that supports 10 licenses. 10 clients have already connected to the server. It is not possible for the 11th client to connect to the server, even when one of these 10 clients log off. In this scenario, you can make use of the Clear License option available at the server. This will clear all the connected licenses and a new set of 10 connections can be made. What is the difference between Project Planner editions and SmartWorks editions? SmartWorks packages shall have the Smart Tracker (an issue tracking tool) and the Meeting Manager (a tool to schedule and track meetings) along with the Project Planner (Project Management software), whereas the Project Planner editions have only the Project Planner software in it I cannot edit Actual Start date nor Actual End date for a Task in Project Planner?

The same list can be seen in the menu option Options - My Projects. Please select the project from here and use the Remove option and then it should get deleted from the list in the Summary View.

I observe that the start date of a task cannot be changed if the task has dependencies. Can it be changed any way? How can I set up buffer time in case of task dependency? Lead/lag can be used if there are dependencies set between the tasks. The tasks can have predecessors of 2 types: FS ( Finish to Start ) and SS ( Start to Start ) These dependencies decide the Start date of a task, i.e. if task A is FS dependent on task B, it means that the task A can start only after task B is completed. In this case even after setting the dependency, if you want a change of the dates, then you can make use of the Lead/Lag options. For example, consider task 5 is FS dependent on task 4 . The Finish date of task 4 is 19-01-2006 and hence the Start date of task 5 is 20-01-2006. This is how the dates due to dependencies are set. But due to some reason you do not want task 5 to start on 20-01-2006. In this case, you can set the dependency for task 5 as 4FS(3), which means that the task 5 will start on 23-01-2006 . Similarly lag can also be set for task 5 by having the dependency as 4FS(-3). In that case task 5 will sta      ");

Meetings are often referred to as places where minutes are made but hours are lost. We all know that considerable amount of time we spend in our work place gets consumed by meetings. Meetings have become an indispensable tool for increasing productivity; resolving conflict, interviewing candidates, analyzing tactics... the list goes on. While meetings are important they are also considered time wasters if they are not organized properly.

We try to address this in the following section. What are the criteria for choosing one edition over another? Ans.Your company size is the main criteria for choosing the appropriate edition of the SmartWorks. Another criteria is what you really want to do with this product. SmartWorks has an application for Project Management and Issue tracking only. However if you work in a group then we suggest you to go for the groupware editions of SmartWorks. These editions allow you to share data among group members dynamically. Here the edition which you would like to choose mainly depends on the size of the group which would work using SmartWorks. We have classified five separate editions to cater to the needs of the group ware users. SmartWorks-HO is ideal for Home office environment where you have only up to five users needing to use the software. You can buys this from a secure e-commerce site shareit. Again if you are not really interested in sharing data dynamically between the users of your Office you may as well buy a SmartWorks-PE which costs much less.

Is there a way I can recover the project? The Admin can recover a project, which had been deleted for temporary causes. The project that is deleted is just removed from the list of projects but it is not purged, completely. Hence, the Admin can recover the project once again. Admin can choose Options/Others in SmartTracker client and list deleted projects. In the list he can choose to either undelete a deleted project or delete a project completely. However if a project has been deleted completely it cannot be recovered. 2. I want to move my database and server to another machine. How can I do this? Lets say you would like to transfer SmartWorks Server from mc1 to mc2. Please do the following steps: · · · · · Install SmartWorks server on mc2 and stop the SmartWorks server on m/c2 if it is currently running On mc1 you can find where the path of SmartWorks database by right clicking on SmartWorks icon in system tray and choosing options. The path is present beside the label Home Directory. Copy the contents of the above folder from m/c1 and overwrite the contents of Smartdb folder in c: drive of m/c2. C:smartdb is the default path where the database is created when server is run for first time Now you can start the server on m/c2 and configure your clients to m/c2 Connect to the new server from SmartWorks clients and ensure that the server is running properl 3. When I try to create a project, I get the error unable to create ? Please go back to the first step in the Project Wizard and change the given project mnemonic to a different one. This should solve the problem. 4. I would like to change the login name of admin to root. Is this possible? No, this is not possible. SmartWorks does not allow changing of login name for admin. 5. How do I change the mail id for the admin? Please login to a project as admin and choose Options / Change Password menu option. It pops up a dialog box wherein you can enter / change admin user name and mail id. 6.      ");
