Wendy has attended:
Project Intro Intermediate course
Is it better to change max units to 200% if you have 2 people with the same job (e.g. project assistant) or to add the resource twice?
Thanks
use 200% it is less confusing
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)
e. Click OK to apply your changes
