Re: Fully Allocate a Resource

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

Hi Vic,

Pardon me for bumping in, but what time in the day does the task
begin? If the task doesn't begin at the start of the working day, I
wouldn't expect to get 8 hours of work in.

Also, you mention that you are using Resource Leveling on a minute
by minute basis. It's possible that in order to resolve
overallocation that the task has been split to allow other tasks to
be scheduled on that day.

I hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.

Thanks.

Sorry, that's what I've been using, the Actual Work. On occasion
I might
have entered something in the Work field to force a task to start
earlier
(same resource working on two tasks but Project placed them in a
different
sequence than I wanted).

Do you think this is caused if I entered something in Work field?
Is there
a way to correct that?

Vic,

If you want to enter work values based on how much they've worked
on a task,
don't use the "Work" field but the "Actual Work" field.
Hope this helps,

Yes, I've been entering work values based on how much they've
worked on a
task. That seems to be the tasks this happens with. So you're
definitely
on
to something :). Thanks.

What should I be doing different or how can I adjust so it
schedules the
remaining hours appropriately (ie. 8 hours per day)?

Vic,

Are you sure that somebody did not enter a Work value for
these tasks?
For example 20h of Work on a task, the Duration of which is
10d.
If you click Assign for a resource, Project calculate Units =
0.25 and
the
work for each day is 2h.

Hi,

I'm working in Project 2003 and I'm having an issue where it
won't
fully
allocate a resource who is assigned to a task at 100%. This
is
happening
in
several instances where it only assigns someone for say 2
hrs per day
(instead of 8). Again they are 100% on the task and I can't
find a
valid
reason for this. I am using leveling as well on a Minute by
Minute
basis.

Any ideas?
