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 All,

I was trying to experiment on smaller scale for resource assignments. The steps involved were ,

1) I created a task with different combination of characteristics like fixed duration ( effort driven ) , Fixed duration ( with effort duration off ) , fixed units ( effort driven and effort driven off ) & fixed work.

2) Duration of 44 hrs were assigned to tasks.

3) resouce assigned was 1 unit for each task.

4) in task usage view , last day 4 hours was changed to 16 hours , since on that day two person ( i hoped ) will work.

5) In final stage , i saw for all the tasks , peak resource assignment in graph on last day was showing 6 , contrary to what i expected that max it should be 2 , since two resources would be sufficient to complete 16 hours of work on last day.

IS this behaviour normal ?

Thanks,

with regards,

vinod
