Uniterrupted Tasks

[greggw3gs]

I have two questions that are related.

First,I am having a problem with a task that needs to be accomplished in its
entirety and cannot be started one day and completed the next such as a
several hour test. How can I force such a task to only start when there is
sufficient time to completd it?

Second, How does one handle alternate resources on two shifts? I have two
technicians running tests one on the day shift, one on evenings. Test which
are run can be run by either depeding on when they occur. How do I show one
or the other resource being use to maximize flexibility?

Sounds like you are trying to use Project for time management, which is not
its strength. I would simply schedule tasks and give each technician a list
of tests for the week.eave it up to them to time manage the days most
effectively. Much quicker and easier than trying to do it in a tool that
isn't designed to do what you want (which it isn't).
