Resource allocation (personnel) Excel Add-on.

Hello,

I am wondering if there is an Excel Add-on (Plugin) which would allow me to do some resource/staff management. I am looking for something that would let me do the following:

1. Able to allocate personnel to several projects. For example 1 person might split half of its time to one project and the other half to a second project.

2. Keep track of time worked by each person on each project

3. Easily scalable to 5-10 projects.

Thanks

How about Project?

Yeah I thought about that - But it is more for managing the projects rather than personnel or resources? - May be I am not familiar enough?

Also are you taking about Microsoft Project (older one) or Project 2007?

I am little concern that using project might be too overly complex and I will probably spend more time learning it rather actually doing some work. I need something very simple and easy to use with limited about of feature.

Thanks for the reply!

I have Project 2003 and use it as infrequently as possible. It is a complex but thorough program, and is the industry standard.

I don't have another suggestion, sorry. A Google search should locate some options.
