RE: Fixed Duration effort

Hi Farouk

Project by default uses a feature called Effort Driven Scheduling.

You can turn this feature off by double clicking on a task and going to the advanced tab. From here you can set the task type to fixed duration and remove the tick from effort driven. This then enables you to assign resources to the task without Project adjusting the duration of your task.

Do let us know if you have any further questions.

Kind regards,


Andrew

Ms project tip:

Avoid Accidental Constraints

The initial default table is the Entry table. Enter a task name and duration, but do not enter start or finish dates. Form the plan using links, predecessors. Typing dates introduces constraints. To remove these constraints, double click on a task, and on the Advanced page of Task Information set the constraint back to As Soon As Possible (all other options are there too.)
