Project 2016 Intermediate

Lesson – Adjusting Resources

Project 2016

Level one resource at a time or all project resources at once when you are in a resource view. If you are in a task view you can select tasks and choose Level Selection.

Level resources manually or automatically as tasks are added to the schedule. In addition, Microsoft Project can search for overallocations in a specified time period, such as daily or weekly, so that you can level resources in a specified time frame, such as on a particular day or month. Set leveling options to control the way in which multiple resources are leveled and specify if the project finish date is affected by leveling. Also set options to control the leveling of multiple resources assigned to the same task and to allow tasks to be split.

The Resource Leveling dialog box

NOTE If you try to level a resource and leveling is not an option, a Microsoft Project dialog box opens, informing you of any problems and providing alternatives to leveling.
