Resource B quit, resource A do his job, then B is back, how to han

[gueb]

Hi!

I hope to get an answer for this one, as I got excellent ones from my other
questions.

- 2 resources in a project A and B
- B quit
- A complete a task from B in the middle of his list (so B was not there yet
in his tasks)
- B came back

Starting a task when the predecessor is not completed bring lot of confusion
in the project (force start date, predecessor star after the next job etc)

How do you handle this? I guess it is common in every project,

Do you rescheduled everything, redo your base line etc for every change?

Hi gueb,

Welcome to this Microsoft Project newsgroup

If A did the whole of B's task, then just reallocate it to A. If it was
partially done, I suggest you amend the allocation in the Resource Usage
view to reflect the situation.

Hope this helps - please let us know how you get on

Mike. What if A was doing a task? Do I close the task and create a new one
for the rest of the time, should I put one predecessor to the other?

If you want to. I think I'd just put zeros in the Work cells in a Usage
group to allow work to be added on the other task. Why not just try it on a
copy and see if what you get models what you want.
