Hi, guys.
I have a project with 100 tasks and a dozen resources. Some tasks can
only be done by one particular resource. Other tasks can be done by
any or all of a group of people. For instance, a task may have 600
hours of work and 6 people could work on it. I don't care how it's
scheduled, a person could start today, another person start next week
when he's available, etc. I just need the 600 hours done. In addition,
some of my resources are not 100% dedicated to my project. So, I have
guys who can only work half time on my project, for instance.
My problem is that when I assign 6 resources to my 600 hour task,
Project assumes that each person must do exactly 100 hours. So, one
resource is done and has nothing to do, while another resource doesn't
start his 100 hours until weeks from now. Or, if they both start at
the same time, a full-time guy is done and the half-time guy goes for
another 50 hours.
What's the best way to handle this problem?
Thanks
