Resource overallocation issue with MS Project 2010 | MS-Project forum

Hello Benedict,

Thank you for your question regarding resource allocation issues.

Determining the amount of time a resource works on a number of different tasks, some of which are concurrent, can be a bit tricky. However, once you have worked this out all you have to do when assigning a resource to a task is click in the units column and enter the percentage figure (the amount of time a resource is expected to work on that particular task) and press enter to assign.

So, by entering a percentage of time into the units column for each task, you are scheduling a resource's effort to be spent on a particular task. If tasks run concurrently the total percentages for one resource should not exceed 100% or else you will still get the 'Red Man'.

I hope this resolves your question. If it has, please mark this question as resolved.

If you require further assistance, please reply to this post. Or perhaps you have another Microsoft Office question?

Have a great day.
Regards,
