Hello Guys,


i have a Project, where I have two Tasks. One lasts one year and has a work duration of one full time equivalent(FTE), the other one 2 years but only need half FTE. Therefore one FTE would be enough to finish both tasks after two years. I want to enter into project for the first task 1 FTE over the full duration, and 50% FTE over two years. how can I make Project to automatically plan the FTE for 100% on the second task?




Thank you

Assuming that the same resource is working on both of these tasks, I would set the Duration of each task to 1 year, set a Finish to Start Dependency between them, and then assign the resource at a Units value of 100%. This way, both tasks will be finished over the 2-year time span without having to deal with overallocations. Just a thought. Hope this helps.

Thanks, is there also a solution to not adjust the duration?

The situation you describe with your intended solution will create a resource overallocation for the first year. So, no, the solution I propose would work the best without creating an overallocation.
