How to assign resources to part of a tasks

Hi Chris

You can split the tasks into sections using the Split Task option.

Then you can add resources to each section

Make sure that they are logic linked.

Better stiil set up different tasks for each section - 10 weeks is too long - 10 days is more realistic.

Best regards

Mike Testro

Multiple Tasks on one line will do this.

Hi Chris,

Mike and Paul give good advice on why not to do this, and on other ways of acheiving the same.  But for reference, you can have a resource allocation in Powerproject of a different duration to the task.  It can be as simple as modifying the length of the resource allocation bar as if it was a task (click on the end of the bar and drag left or right).

Powerproject does however also have a full non-linear resource allocation feature, which is the last tab of information on the resource allocation properties menu (right-click on the resource allocation bar).  See the help file for more details.

Oh - and check out the resource usage view, for an editable grid-like window under the bar chart showing where resources are working!
