Hi,
Today I’m going to explain what happens if I assign additional resource in Task which has a progress with MS PROJECT 2016.
First, I’m going to create brand new Project:
I have two resources available:
I will assign John to the Task.
I will switch to the Task Usage View:
Now, let’s say that John had work 24 hours (8 days at Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday):
I will get:
Now, I’m going to assign Mary to the Task, and after that I will get:
As you can see, Mary is assigned only at Thursday and Friday. Why? Is it a bug? No, it is not. It is great feature of Microsoft Project. Let me explain you why?
Sin john had worked 8 hours per day for three days (from Monday to Wednesday), when I assign Mary to the Task, MS PROJT assumes that I want to add Mary only for the rest of work which should be done (at Thursday and Friday). But what, for xample, if I forgot to assign Mary to the Task at the very beginning? an i assign hr from Monday to Friday?
Yes I can. To do that, follow these steps:
and you will get:
Easy way to resolve a problem, isn’t it?
Regards.
