Thanks for all your responses.

Can I assign a resource lag for the resources? If I have a piling activity of 10 days, I want to assign the piling rig for last 5 days and in a similar manner, I want to assign a resource for the first 5 days in a 10 day activity. I tried using original lag but it is increasing the duration.

Hello Uma

Duration type matters when resources are assigned to an activity.  So setting the correct duration type is important when resource are loaded.  You can set Fixed Duration & Units/ Time  OR Fixed Duration & Units if it is the schedule is what is important for that activity.  You can use Fixed Units/Time if Resource Availability is the majour issue for an activity.  You can use Fixed Units  if Budget (cost) is what is importantas far as that activity is concerened

Hi,

If I want to load the programme with the cost using the resources, what precautions need to be taken with respect to duration type? O any other measures to be taken? Do I need to uncheck/check any boxes anywhere? I have been using expenses tab to cost load the prog. I would like to use it as a resource. Can someone please advise?

Hi

If you want to calculate earned value, resource must be loaded.

The estimation weights may not affect the progress of WBS or activities. The estimation weights is used to quickly allocate resourse.

This is my opioion.
