Secrets of resource levelling with MS project (manually)?

[Lauchlan M]

Hi,

I wrote a schedule in MS project and allocated resources to it.

I then levelled it by

1. looking in the resource sheet for overallocated resources
2. using the resource graph to see where they are over-allocated
3. using the GANTT chart filtered by the resource to identify what the
multiple tasks the resource is allocated to are, and manually addressing it.

I find this effective (I think through the clashes and make the choices I
want) but tedious.

Other than the auto-levelling, are there other more effective approaches to
resource levelling in MS project?

Ideally, I'd like view that tells me what tasks a given resource at a given
point in time is allocated to, but MS Project does not seem to have that.
Does it?

Thx,

Lauchlan M

Hi,

It is called the Resource Usage view.

It is called the Resource Usage view.

Ta, thanks.

I was wondering what that one was for! <g>
