Allocating resources

How do I allocate resources to tasks?

RE: Allocating resources

Hi Wendy

Thank you for your question

Resources can be allocate to tasks in a number of different ways.

The simplest is to open the GANTT chart and then click on window-split screen. This will divide the screen in 2 with the GANTT Chart in the top half, and the task information view in the bottom half. In the resources half of the bottom pane you can now select the resources required for each individual task and allocate them accordingly.

You should also remember to set each task to effort driven/ not effort driven as required (probably the latter) and to choose the correct task type (Fixed Work, Fixed Unit or fixed duration)

Hope this helps

Regards

Stephen


 

MS Project tip:

Using the Quick Access Toolbar in Project 2010

The Quick Access Toolbar is included in virtually every Office product, including Project 2010 as well as Outlook 2010, Word 2010, Excel 2010, and PowerPoint 2010.

You will find the Quick Access Toolbar in the top-left side of the window. To begin, click the Customize button (it's the little black arrow at the end of the toolbar).

Simply click the commands you want to include.

Virtually any command can be added to the Quick Access Toolbar. Click the More Commands option and a new window will open from where you can browse the commands including those not on the ribbon.
