Resourcing

If you are unsure how much of a resources time will be available to you, I put in a percentage of the resource against each task, however this throuws questions at me and amends the units. is this the best way of assigning resources?

Version	Date	Location	Places available	Book	Next place rate (£)
Project Advanced 1 day course
Version	Date	Location	Places available	Book	Pay by Card	Pay by Invoice
2003	Mon 19 Apr 2010	Southwark	9		£295	£300
2003	Wed 4 Aug 2010	Southwark	10		£295	£300
2003	Tue 30 Nov 2010	Southwark	10		£295	£300

RE: Resourcing

Hi Chaitali,

Thank you for your question and sorry for the delay in responding.

Have you found a way around your problem? Try the following:

If you go to Gantt chart view and use the window menu to split. In the bottom window choose the first resource from the left column and click OK.

Then edit either the unit or assign a particular amount of hours followed by OK again.

When you adjust the Unit the Hours will change and the same the other way round.

I hope this helps.

Regards

Simon

Ms project tip:

Keep constraining dates to a minimum

As far as possible avoid fixing the dates of your tasks. For example try to steer of clear dragging task bars in the Gantt chart to move them on the timeline or entering dates directly into the Start / Finish fields.

Date constraints such as these limit Microsoft Project's ability to automatically adjust your project whenever you add, remove or modify the duration of your tasks. Instead use the logic in your task dependencies that link your tasks to enable Project to calculate the start and finish dates for you.
