Hi there,



I have a number of tasks in MS Project where I need to assign multiple resources but I don't know how to configure this so the cost comes out correctly.

For example I have a task where I know we have 20 days to complete it. I also know the task will be 280 hours of work in total. I have therefore set this to a 'fixed duration' task type at 20 days duration and 280 of work. With the resource availability i know one resource will spend 144 hours on this and the other 136 hours during this 20 day period.

When I assign two resources it automatically sets the units per person as a percentage.

Is there a way I can just manually enter the number of hours each person will do? I need to do this so my costs add up.

Perhaps I have configured this wrong?

Thanks for the help

Split your screen (right click in an empty portion of the Gantt chart and select Split or Show Split). In the Task Form you can edit work for each resource as needed. You can also use the Task Form to assign the resources as well as set the task as Fixed Duration. No need to enter the work first, just enter the work estimates when you select the resource from the Task Form.
