Resource added to task not working as I expected

[tshad]

I have a task set to 30 days with one person working on it.

When I changed it 60 days it pushed the project out another 30 days expectd.

But when I added another person on it (both at 100%), it didn't change the
days and didn't change the finish date either. What I was doing was -
seeing that it was going to take twice as long as I originally planned so I
put an extra resource on it, assuming that it would put the project back on
track (although it would cost more), timewise. But that isn't what
happened. What did I do wrong?

Thanks,

Tom

Hello,

Go to Task Information, Advanced.
Check Task Type (should NOT be fixed duration) and Effort Driven (should be
ON)
Then it will work
And DO read the help on Task Type and effort driven, or you will be
frustrated agaoin!
