Resources and cost allocation
For a task with say a duration of 10 days, if I have a resource who is only contributing 50% of their time on 1 day to the task and other resources chipping in over the 10 days, without the task requiring 10 days of effort (its just that due to waiting for things reviews, availability etc we will take 10 days to deliver), how do I represent this on the gantt chart and calculate the cost? Thank you.

RE: Resources and cost allocation
Hi Patricia
Thanks for your question. You might find it easiest to model this scenario by working in the Task Usage view and editing the allocated work for each resource assigned to the task.
You can access the view by going to View > Task usage
I hope this helps - let us know if you have any other questions.
Kind regards,
Andrew

MS Project tip:Inserting Task Durations QuicklyWhen entering durations for your tasks simply use the single letters - m for min, h for hr, d for day, w for week, but mon for month. If default is set for days, you need only type the number, for example 3 for 3days, or 0.5 for half a day. |
