Example:
I have a task for support over a long duration (6months), and I have several
resources spread over that duration. The task type is fixed work because I
have to contral our work and baseline work and make sure it ties to our
costing software. The task has 5 resources that I want to level load across
the duration, however that are not all 100% utilized. Some are 60% and some
maybe 30%. I want project to level these resources across the entire
duration (note, I did not contour the resources in any manner). It seems to
do this when I first load the resources, however if I add days to the
duration or add more hours to a particular resource, it only spreads the
hours across maybe 2 of the 6 months of duration. I think what is happening
is project assumes the resource to work 100% (8hrs/day) and it loads those
hours in until the hours are used up. This creates problems, for various
tasks in my schedule are set-up like this. The workaround I have put in
place is right before I sync with the cost software (i.e. give them an export
for work), I go into the task usage view and varify that all resources below
the tasks all have the same spread. This works, however is there a simpilar
way??
Any help would be nice,
