Project not correctly reducing duration when extra resource is added
Hi,
I'm running a software project and have development resource allocated to certain tasks with the project. As and when a resource comes free/finishes their current assignment Im adding them to already in progress tasks to help reduce down the duration to test/delivery. The work is fixed, so the duration should reflect this. As of today when creating a new plan, when adding resource and allocating them to in progress task, when they become free the duration no longer reflects the extra resource and leaves the duration the same. I get the over-allocation prompt but when 'level' the resource it either leaves the duration the same or moves the incoming resource task to a new start date. For example: Task 1: Dev 1 allocated: Duration 8 days: Work (fixed) 8 days Task 2: Dev 2 Allocated: Duration 16 days: Work (fixed) 16 days now when I allocate Dev 1 to join Task 2 when Dev 1 Task 1 work is completed expected project result: Task 2: Dev 2 and Dev 1 allocated: Work (fixed) 16 days: Duration now 12 days Actual result: If i fix over allocation on Dev 1 - Task 1 now starts at the end of task 2 which defeats the purpose of adding the resource If i fix over allocation on Task 2 with Dev 1 & 2 involved work is 16 days duration is still 16 days - where as duration should be 12 days Any help greatly appreciated |
