Resource Allocation

Return to Introduction  Previous page  Next page

Enterprise Architect enables you to link a named resource in a named role to a given model element. This enables the Project Manager to track how far development of required components and classes has progressed (provided the programmers and others keep their figures up to date).

To enter Resource Allocation details for an element, select the element and select the View | Project Management menu option. The Project Management window displays, showing the Resource Allocation tab. Click on the New button on the Project Management window toolbar. (If the window does not display as shown, click on the Show/Hide Properties button on the toolbar.)
