I am having trouble defining a task constraints.



I have multiple tasks for one individual to do that has multiple interruptions - see below:

Task 1 - Design widget, duration 1 week, completed by resource 1

Task 2 - Manufacture widget, duration 2 weeks, completed by resource 2, to follow task 1

Task 3 - Test widget, duration 1 week, completed by resource 1, to follow task 2

Task 4 - Redesign widget, duration 1 week, completed by resource 1, to follow task 3

Task 5 - Manufacture redesigned widget, duration 2 weeks, completed by resource 2, to follow task 4

Task 6 - Design crate, duration 12 weeks, completed by resource 1, to be worked on during down time when resource 2 is doing supporting work (task 3 and 5) - how do I make these constraints flow into one task to create an overall timeline?

Thanks,

Jamie

I think your question has already been answered at:

But to clarify. You do not need to set constraints on the tasks. Set the "Build Crate" task to a lower priority number (200 for example) and ensure the option to Split tasks in Leveling options is selected.

I'm also guessing you wanted the Build Crate task to occur during Task 2 & 5.
