Hi folks,

since I work on the final RTM Project Profesional 2010, I face a new issue.

When you define a single task "Fixed Duration" with a single assignment
full time, the assignment units does not react as it should.
As a matter of fact, when this option is set with OK. Then, in a second
step, you moved the work upward and the units do not move. If you moved the
work up, the units do not move either.
this means that if i am constraint by the project sponsor to end at an early
fixed date, even if my resources can be hired, I cannot ask the SW to adjust
resources units on all my critical path to fit the correct milestone : and do
more work with more people to reduce duration.

Same thing with "fixed Work". When I change the duration, the unit DO NOT
move and remains 100%. witch means for instance that i my goal is later than
expected, if I enlarge durations I cannot expect units to be calculated lower
than the former defined plan.

Is this issue only related to the French version ?

Hi Didier,

there was a change how assignment units are working. Have a look at
http://blogs.msdn.com/project/archive/2010/04/29/assignment-units-in-project-2010.aspx. I
hope that will help you to get what you need.

Regards
Barbara
