Part-time resource

What's the best way to plan resources who will be working part-time on the project, when they do not work on fixed days each week? Using percentages gets very complicated. Is there a simpler option?

Sorry Jane, but no.

The practical way is to ensure they are in the Resource Sheet as a percentage. Make sure the resource calendar is the Standard calendar. Then after you allocate them to a task, go to Resource Usage view and manually edit the working hours which Project has assigned.

Thanks Alan,

I suspected that was the case!

Avoid Accidental Constraints

The initial default table is the Entry table. Enter a task name and duration, but do not enter start or finish dates. Form the plan using links, predecessors. Typing dates introduces constraints. To remove these constraints, double click on a task, and on the Advanced page of Task Information set the constraint back to As Soon As Possible (all other options are there too.)
