You work as a Project Administrator for Company Inc. You need to configure alerts for your project team. You would like the project team to receive an alert two days before their task is due to start. How will you accomplish the task?
A.
Each project team member must configure this as a part of the project workspace settings.
B.
The project manager can configure the alert for the project team through the Personal Settings page in Project Web Access.
C.
The functional managers own the project resource, so they will need to configure this through resource management in Project Web Access.
D.
Only the resource owners can configure the Resource settings in Project Web Access.
Explanation:
Project managers can configure alerts and reminders for the project team, as the project team is considered a resource the project manager has authority over. To do this, you will access Personal Settings through PWA and then choose ‘Manage My Resource’s Alerts and Reminders’. Answer option A is incorrect. Alerts set by the project manager override the resource’s own alerts. Answer option C is incorrect. Functional managers do not set the alerts and reminders. Answer option D is incorrect. Resource owners can set this, but in this instance, the project manager is the resource owner.
