microsoft+project+training - Sharing resources

Hi Sarah

thanks for your question. First you need to have a project file that holds the list of your resources. Ideally this file will have only resource information in it, no tasks at all. This file will become your resource pool. With your resource pool open in the background open your project file and go to Tools > share resources > resource sharing.

Select the radio button to share resources from the open resource pool file and click on OK. This will populate your project plan with resources from the resource pool that you created. You can now assign them to tasks in your project.

You can repeat this with multiple projects sharing the same resources from a single resource pool.

Hope this his helpful.

Kind regards,

Andrew
