Website Upgrade Incoming - we're working on a new look (and speed!) standby while we finalise the project

Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

Hi, I have a project with resource constraint and I want to solve that without increasing my resource quantity than I had a problem with as late as possible constraint after I finished my schedule in as soon as possible constraint for all activities I leveled my project but not for activities which have available slack I leveled all of them. Than my project duration increased after the leveling operation I tried to make all my activities as late as possible but MS Project take my previous project duration and make my activities as late as possible I mean it’s clearing leveling and turns back. When I try to make my activities as late as possible after leveling I can manage to do them if I do one by one manually but after that a new problem occurs when I try to take S-CURVES It gives the cumulative cost for the first project duration.
Would you please help me about this problem if you want I can send you sample project.

Hi,

By giving Priority to that task you can avoid the duration problems

First thanks for dealing with my problem I’m working with MS Project 2003. I tried everything but I couldn’t solve the problem and I know that its unsolvable with MS Project (without extra software)its easily seen that MS Project is deficient in leveling but its available solving the problem with critical chain consepts so i used prochain as an extra software for MS Project. I’ll send you the project as soon as possible thanks again.

I’m not so good at this levelling thingy...

- HAve you set "deadline"?
- Maybe the setting for each activity?

Need to test to check the reasons via the file...
