Dear Sir
Task types in MS Project 2007 does not act as in program help.
Case one:
For a fixed units task of 4 days duration, 8 hours/day, using only one work resource R1 at 50% units to perform work of 16 hours and not effort driven task, if I add a work resource R2 to this task at 50% units, program recalculates work to 32 hours [(50% + 50%) x 4days x 8h/d] and suggests another option by a temporary indicator that, to fix work and recalculate duration.
In program help it is mentioned in a table clearly (In a, Fixed units task, If you revise units, Duration is recalculated).
Case two:
For a fixed work task of 4 days duration, 8 hours/day, using only one work resource R1 at 50% units to perform work of 16 hours and effort driven task, if I increase duration to 6 days, program fixes unit at 4 days, recalculates work to 24 [50% x 6days x 8h/d] and suggests another option by a temporary indicator that, to fix work and recalculate units.
In program help it is mentioned in a table clearly (In a, Fixed work task, If you revise duration, Units are recalculated).
I am confused.
I am sharing my MS project knowledge and I am keen to give everything in compliance with program help.
These two cases are not in compliance with program help; at least for me.
What is my mistake?
Please lead me?
