Ruel,
A role is a job or function
A resource is te "person" who performs the role
Example of roles: engineer, surpervisor,etc...
for each resource you assign the roles hhe can play. a reosurce can play more than one role to a certain proficiency. each role can be played by various resources. Assign roles to your activities early in the project when you have not determeined which resource is to be used. Later on, you can replace roles with the resources.
Regards,
Ruel,
I already explain this in other thread. Anyway Roles is normally used for initial planning if resources are not yet available and when doing the detail planning then roles will be replaced by the detail resources. Role cannot be level.
