I need to add more resources doing different related task working towards a common goal

RE: resources

Hi Ian

Thanks for your question. You can add more resources to a task by splitting the screen (window > split), choosing the task in question then in the lower left corner of the screen choosing your resources. Be careful though about adjusting tasks that already have resources. Project may adjust your task's duration. Check whether effort driven scheduling is enabled as well as the current task type - the controls are in the centre of the screen just below the split bar.

If you have any further questions please don't hesitate to let us know.

Kind regards,

Andrew


 

MS Project tip:

Set default task type - Project 2010

a. In Project, click on the File tab
b. Select Options from left hand side
c. Click on Schedule to set the scheduling options
d. Set the Default Task type box to your chosen option
i. Generally if you plan/estimate your projects using durations you should use fixed duration, and untick the box New tasks are effort driven, if you plan/estimate with person hours use fixed work, or for plans estimated with the proportion of resources time use fixed units, and untick the box New tasks are effort driven)
e. Click OK to apply your changes
