Another Question

Is it possible for PP V8 to increase or decrease resources allocated to a task automatically when the effort is changed, rather than change the task duration?

For example a task 1wk duration 40hr calendar, 80hrs of effort. ( 2 resource units reqd ). Scope underestimated now 120hrs of effort, duration must still be 1wk. when I change the effort the duration increases to suit.I then increase the resource allocation appropriately to bring the duration back to it’s original location. but i would like the software to keep the duration and increase the resources to suit. is this possible?

This is useful in more extreme examples where the effort in many tasks changes and changes significantly and you want to quickly see the affect that these changes have on your resource profile. you may then have to go back to the client and tell them that the original durations are not achievable.

Hopefully someone can give me a solution to this
