How to set Resources to work at different time with different amount of work at the same Task in MS PROJECT 2013

Hi,

I have a question from one of my Blog Readers: “”

Nenad, I have two Resources on the same Task. I want to assign them at different time and different work. Let’s say that John will work 40 hours for 5 days Duration Task (from Monday till Friday, but Mary should work only 8 hours at Friday. How can I accomplish that?”

I will explain how to di it in MS PROJECT 2013!

First I’m going (as always) to create new Project:

As  you can see, John will work from Monday till Friday (40 hours) and Mary will work only at Friday (8 hours). I could put 8 hours in Work field for Mary, and then in Scheduled Start Fri, 16.1.2015, and I will get the same result.

Let’s see in Task Usage View:

Easy, isn’t it?
