Hi Dale, I ran through several scenarios with the initial setup as you show and seeing also that their Peak % is at 100% for the original Work Resource. When I add a helper Work Resource everything works as you say it should. Which is great, however, when I start with a single work resource or multiple ones, with their Peak % greater than 100%, I don't get a proportional split with the addition of a helper work resource using an Assignment value of 100%. Can you help me understand why that happens as it doesn't seem to match a real world situation. The setup I'm referring to is when someone is using Fixed Duration with Effort Driven On. Thanks in advance.
Hi, Dan - Thanks for the question. Fellow UA-camrs, because of the complexity of Dan's question, I asked him to send me the project via e-mail, and I answered his question through e-mail. The answer is WAY TOO LONG to post in his forum.
Dale - another great video. Question - is there any problem or issues that might arise if a PM decides to change either the task type and/or effort driven selection after a task has already started? Thanks, Dan Danahy
Dan -- Changing the Task Type on a task after the task has already started CAN change the behavior of the task if you change one of the three variables in the Microsoft Project scheduling engine. But the change in behavior will exactly match what I document in this video. Thanks for asking, and thanks for watching my UA-cam channel!
