I want to be able to change the minor unit of leveling from days to weeks.
Right now MS Project levels my assigned resources using absurd numbers like
1.67 hrs per day, etc... due to it's leveling algorithm. I just want it to
schedule by weeks (i.e. 8 hrs per week) because I don't micromanage my
resources down to the day.
Even if I change the Resource Usage minor unit display from days to weeks MS
Project is still redflagging my resources because it is leveling tasks down
to the day even though it is not displayed that way.
If I try to manually eliminate the redflagging by assigning hours day by day
it then puts splits all over my tasks. Absurd micromanagement.
An example:
If I enter 16 hours (2 days) effort for a task that spans 1 week MS Projects
levels it into 16/5 = 3.2 hrs per day. If I then put in another 24 hr task
for 3 specific days during that same week using the same resource at 24 hrs
MS Project declares I have overscheduled the person on 3 days (and
underscheduled them on the remaining two).
