Resource allocation

Good morning. Can you allocate a Group as a resource to a task, rather than the Resource Name? I have a group of 50 people who will all be allocated to some tasks as a group, e.g. meetings, and some individual tasks. In order to allocate their time correctly, I do not want to make the group a seperate resource in addition to the individuals in that group, as I will then be counting their time twice.

RE: Resource allocation

Hi Nicola

Thank you for your question. In MS Project 2007 we can only assign individual resources rather than a team. Project Server does allow assigning teams to tasks.

Let us know if you have any further questions.


Kind regards,
Andrew
