Re: Cost Estimate for Resources and Hours

Hello Craig,

1) If you create tasks and indent to create subtasks you have the
first step.
2) Link the tasks as appropriate to drive the schedule of the tasks
3) Create resources and assign standard rates to those resources.
4) Assign resources to the subtasks to generate work. The summary
task will automatically total the work of the subtasks.
5) The cost will be calculated by work * rate = cost. The subtasks
will have work and cost, the summary tasks will add all the work and
costs for you.

I suggest taking a good read of fellow MVP, Mike Glen's excellent
series of articles on using MS Project. You can find the link to his
articles and other useful information at:

I hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.

I'm a newbie, but I've looked around and can't find the answer.

I would like to build a WBS with hours by task and subtask which are
totaled. Also, the hours by resource are totaled and multiplied by
the
hourly cost of the resource. Any ideas?
Appreciate any suggestions.

Thanks,
Craig
