I’m looking to adjust my resource level on a weekly basis as I will have more men available later in the project is there a way to do thison a single line activity of 8 weeks??

At the moment it allocates the budgeted hours equallly over the duration of the activity.

    you can apply a resource usage curve - front end loaded , back end loaded etc rather than the standard linear. Alternative you can apply the resource more than once to provide a stacked effect

    e.g. 2 men * full 8 weeks +
    3 men between weeks 3 and 5 +
    2 men between weeks 7 & 8

    To provide a more accurate allocation

    Just a note here,

    Such kind of a resource allocations are very difficult to handle when it comes to updating. And so if possible divide into different activties and roll them up with an activtiy code.
