Hi,
I have an activity in which a resource is 20% allocated on the first week, 80% on the second week and 100% on the last week.
Is there an option to create this task without splitting the it into 3 different ones?

Thanks,
Assaf

    If you need to do this across your whole project, then MS Project will not do it.
    Try Micro Planner X-Pert for Windows as it allows up to 20 separate entries for a resource per task

    Hi Assaf,

    It can be done in MS Project but it’s time consuming and requires a lot of manual intervention each time you update the task.

    View > More Views > Task Usage

    Change the timescales so that the lower tier display weeks or days and adjust the work assignment so that the first week has a total of 1d effort, the second week has a total of 4d effort and the third week has a 5d total of effort.

    I wouldn’t recommend you do this though, you’ll probably end up amending the resources 24hrs a day rather than managing and updating the schedule.

    Regards,

    Darren
