    Hi,

    What is the meaning of the following message in the "Project Strategic Impact" page (Portfolio manager in 2010).

    "2 of 5 projects have no requirements for resources. Check the analyse settings and try again".

    Thanks

    Alex,

    Yes, I chose to include the 'Analyze time-phased project resource requirements against organizational resource capacity.

    I think I know the origin of this alert:"2 of 5 projects have no requirements for resources. Check the analyse settings and try again":

    I made a lot of trials, not always in the right order: two of my "proposals" already had some Actual Work - Not really logic for a proposal;-(

    After I removed these % complete, the alert disappeared.

    Thanks for the brainstorming!

    i already read this help page but I didn't find the answer of my question: what the meaning of ""2 of 5 projects have no requirements for resources. "

    All my projects have resources assigned to tasks, resources have cost...

    Hi,

    I am guessing you have configured a portfolio analysis and chosen to include the 'Analyze time-phased project resource requirements against organizational resource capacity' option. This requires you to have defined resource requirements for each project in the analysis either via a Resource Plan or specific plan assignments. 

    That being the case, of the five projects you are selecting in the analysis, two of them don't have resources defined. To fix it, define resources in those projects and rerun the analysis. If the projects aren't in a position to have resources defined, create a new analysis and choose not to perform a resource analysis.

    Hope this helps or at least points you in the right direction.

    Sometimes this message appears, even if required resources are defined. That might result from steps taken not exactly in workflow's order. I had such a case, in the 'status' resourcing step was completed, but scheduling step wasn't initiated. When I pressed on 'commit' option in last step window 'Analyze resources' of 'Portfolio analysis', my workflow was pushed to the next step.

    Regards

    I had the same error message, but did not have any actual work on either of my two projects I selected.  It was a small plan, so I deleted it totally, and created a new plan with the exact tasks, times, and resources.  Did the same analysis setttings and it worked just as it should.....

    Obvioulsy not an optimal solution - especially if you have large plans.  Maybe a bug?
