How do I assign Team/People Responsibilities to Individual Tasks

[Somerled HK]

I simply want to allocated either people or teams to an activity without
affecting the resource levelling. I need only to be able to extract or
identify the tasks to be carried out by each individual team.

Hi,

If you want resources not to influence leveling, the simplest way is to give
these resources a very high availability (like 5000% or so)

Hi,

.... Or make the task fixed duration and assign the resource 0%

Jan,

Thanks, I had tried a large percentage for the resource but only up to 500%
so I'll try the "fixed task duration" method first and if that fails then
I'll try your 5000% resources.

Thanks - IAN

Well how many people are on Team X? 5000% would be fine if there were
50 people on the team. 500% would be appropriate if there were 5 people
on the team. "Not effecting leveling" is only good up to a certain
point. If you changed it to 5000 and the team only had 5 people then
for sure leveling would not be 'effected' but it would also be
meaningless. Project would allow you to assign 50 man-days to that team
on any given working day! Up the Max Units of these 'generic' resources
only to the level that they represent the team size.

I wrote an article about doing this exact thing back in 2001.

What you can do is use the resource "usage view" along with some grouping and
you have what you are looking for!
