  • Once you have allocated resources to your tasks, you might encounter over allocation of resources. We will see how to solve this in several ways, including the task inspector, and we will level resources in the project.
    Based on a real project experience I'll try to pass you my knowledge.

    Hi Christian, could you give me an explanation of over allocation? It's by hours or by date?

    • @vision6D
      @vision6D  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      over allocation is by hour. If you can work a maximum of 8 hours a days and MS Project allocates you a task of 10 hours that same day you are in over allocation. Hope this clarifies it.

      Thank you for your supportive comment and your question. If you want to assign less time to a task you can look at the resource usage tool. Here is a link to a video on solving overallocation with that tool. It will show you how to change worked hours. May be you canlLet me know how it solved your point?

    Great video for pointing out the different ways to resource level... however, am I the only one confused as to why the first 3 methods give a different solution to the last method? Why is this?

      Thank you for your comment and question. In the video I mentioned that you must be aware of what has changed in your project and the different method do not always bring the same result.

    This video is really helpful and I really enjoyed it. In this moment I am preparing a fictional project for a class in order to get PM certification. I am finding myself in a very tough position... I need to create an example of overallocated resources until tomorrow evening and I do not have any idea on how to do it in MS Project. You would really help me if you could support me with a template... Can you please help me?

      Hello,
      Thank you for your question. Depending on your situation their might be different places where to change the calendar, project level, resource level. Depending on the complexity of your project, overallocation has to be solved in different ways. Here is one example:

      If you want you can send me your project file by email calttla at gmail.com
      Let me know how are your project overallocations.
      Have a great day.

      @@vision6D I cant level using levelling option because it changes the duration of the project. So I tried it manually by changing time and by assigning another resource to reduce number of units ( hours) and also I increased number of resources(units) in certain periods. By reducing units overallocation get solved. but where I cant assign another resource I tried changing the working days and hours of the calendar as exceptions. But it wont solve overallocation. I did it on a sample project. How can I send you the project file?
