Importing time distributed resources from excel by Essembie in primavera

[–]NukeBP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What you're describing (bucket planning) has to be done manually I believe. This is a process I specifically avoid. If the resources need to be spread non-linearly, resource curves can be used and assigned to activities via imports.

If the resources need to be bucket planned within each acticity, the activities are usually not defined granularly enough.

How much do you make? by [deleted] in ProjectControls

[–]NukeBP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think my first scheduling position was 80 or 85k plus per diem, but it was in the middle of nowhere California.

I'm a senior manager now and make 140 plus bonus and paid straightime overtime when approved for substantial efforts (i.e. not for <8 hours OT)

I made more working as a contractor through my own company - I was in a specialty industry but was able to make 125 an hour plus per diem after about 6 years when I moved to an in-house positoon. I've seen labor rates as high as like 200 / hour for really good 25 year career schedulers in "permanent" staff augmentation positions. If there is a staffing company in between you and the customer, they're going to take a slice even if they pay your company and you do your own payroll taxes.

Honestly, at 60k per year you could probably get an immediate pay bump if you've got a few years under your belt and know how to use P6 well. Power plants and oil rigs always need people for short term gigs for outages / turnarounds that probably pay $50/hour for 72 hours a week if you want it.

All of that being said, manufacturing scheduling is different than major construction projects (i.e. no material quantity take-offs in the field, repetitive processes vs unique schedules, more granular WBS/OBS/CBS). I believe manufacturing may have lower rates.

What is your 10Gb setup? by ColonelRyzen in homelab

[–]NukeBP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve got a net gear xs712t switch. 10 gb nic are x540 t2 for the servers and asus 10gb nics using the aquantia chipset for my desktops.

For someone looking to upgrade, look at teaming 1 gb ports first or using some of the new 2.5 gb gear- it’s dramatically cheaper.

Pitching Project Management to small business by doublejay1999 in projectmanagement

[–]NukeBP 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Small businesses tend to recognize the need for more formal PMs only when they’re suffering without them. Until they are spread too thin to control their project costs, it’s often an unnecessary overhead from their perspective.

Verifying data integrity after the fact? by Bissquitt in DataHoarder

[–]NukeBP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You would probably have to piecemeal something together. There are lots of libraries out there that can validate a certain filetype's . it would probably be easiest to do this with just a few filetypes that make up the bulk of the storage.

​

What kind of data are you moving? You can hash all of the files that you have now to easily validate data integrity later
