Levelling

Can you level resources across a number of projects rather than just tasks in one project?

RE: Levelling

Hi Laura,

Thank you for your question and welcome to the forum.

When you create a Master Project with each individual project sharing the same resource pool, when you use the levelling tool it will level your resources across all the projects.

In each project, you can go to Project, then Project Information and set a priority level for each project. The lower the number, the task that the resource is doing willl be delayed first.

The higher the number you assign to each project will mean that the tasks in that project will be delayed last.

I hope this answers your question.

Regards

Simon

MS Project tip:

Set default task type - Project 2010

a. In Project, click on the File tab
b. Select Options from left hand side
c. Click on Schedule to set the scheduling options
d. Set the Default Task type box to your chosen option
i. Generally if you plan/estimate your projects using durations you should use fixed duration, and untick the box New tasks are effort driven, if you plan/estimate with person hours use fixed work, or for plans estimated with the proportion of resources time use fixed units, and untick the box New tasks are effort driven)
