Summary
We started this chapter by gaining a deep understanding of how resources and costs are inextricably connected and must be managed together. Then, we explored different resource types that you can apply to your project to get deeper realism in your schedules. Then, we explored all the major types of resource costing situations that are normally encountered in project management. Finally, we concluded this chapter with a bouquet of views that will help you drill into different levels of costing information with a top-down approach. The hands-on project in this chapter should have enabled you to approach costing in Project with confidence.
In the next chapter, we will cover even more advanced tools and techniques that are useful for monitoring and controlling projects. The topics we'll cover will be an amalgamation of important project management concepts and the corresponding techniques. This will include resolving difficult scheduling and costing problems.
