Re: Shared Task by Multiple Resources

Hi,

IMHO, you should break this up.
Frm my understanding of the word task, an action that produces an
identifiable deliverable is a task.
Your planning engineer, when he hands over to the technicians, will be
transferring some result, so his action is one or more tasks, etcetera.
I fail to see any advantage to mingle all ths onto one "task"
In Project, you can arrange all these task under one "summary task"

Hi,

I have a 400 hour task (the same task) in which we have:
1) A planning engineer who has 50 hours of work at the beginning of the
task
(hour #1-50).
2) 2 technicians who have 100 hours each during the middle (hour #51-150).
3) 1 technician and 1 engineer who have 80 hours (hour #1-80, and #
200-280).
4) 2 interior designers who have 50 hours each at(hour #250-300 , and
#300-400-at 50%).
All the others are at 100%.
From MS Project point of view, should I put all these under 1 task or
should I break into 4 or more subtask?

Thank you,
Dip
