All,
Whenever I indicate that a task has a longer duration than the work (ie, 20
hours work over an elapsed time of three weeks), Project automatically
contours the work. Further it doesn't do it consistently. For example:
I have two resources on one tasks that has a total of 40 hours of work
required, but an elapsed time (duration) of 15 days. It is fixed work/effort
driven. When I enter all of this information, Project contours the way it
assigns the work (I would prefer it flat), and it does it differently. It
gave one resource a front loaded contour, and it gave the other resource a
front and back loaded (like an inverted bell curve). In fact, one of the
resources now finishes before the other, and before the task finish date!
Any ideas on how this works or how to control it?
Thanks,
