From: Chalrie57 on 17 May 2010 17:58 Let's say I am painting a car in a shop and I have three painters. I have my cost and my resources all filled out. The Gantt Chart is fine, then for no reason the hours needed to not match the days it will take to complete a project. Example: I have 6 hours per day per person, I have a 24 hour project with three people so the hour shows "8" this should be done in 1.3 days but the dates show Thursday 6/3 to Tuesday 6/8 four working days. I am guessing I have checked a box I should not have. Any ideals?

From: Rod Gill on 17 May 2010 22:53 Hi, Under Tools, Options, View tab, select a date format that includes time. You may find that the start is late afternoon of one day and early morning of the last day. How many hours of work for the resource on this task. You mention 8h, but can you confirm this please? -- Rod Gill Microsoft MVP for Project - http://www.project-systems.co.nz Author of the only book on Project VBA, see: http://www.projectvbabook.com "Chalrie57" <Chalrie57.4b4wtb(a)DoNotSpam.com> wrote in message news:Chalrie57.4b4wtb(a)DoNotSpam.com... > > Let's say I am painting a car in a shop and I have three painters.

From: Chalrie57 on 18 May 2010 08:17 Thank You Rod, I now understand what it is doing, I'm just not sure why. If something has 24 hours and I give resources 300% it reduces the hours to 8 in the Duration column, however the start/finish time and the bar graph represent the full 24 hours based on 8 hours a day -- Chalrie57 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Chalrie57's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/members/221382.htm View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/microsoft-project/1337982.htm http://forums.techarena.in
From: Chalrie57 on 18 May 2010 10:38 I fixed this problem by removing everything in my "Resource Names" and starting over. This time when I got the option "Change the duration so resources spend only the specified hours/day working on the task" I took it. It seems to work fine now. Thanks everyone of taking time to read my issues, I'll be back!

From: Jim Aksel on 18 May 2010 14:32 Glad you got it figured out. What you have discovered is Project has task types (Fixed work, fixed duration, fixed units). On top of that, they may also be "effort driven" When "Effort Driven" is selected as part of the task type, Project fixes the Work assigned to the task and divides it among assigned resources. This only has an effect after you enter the task. So, if you enter Fred as a resource at 8 hours, your task is one day. If you add Barney (at 100%) project assumes the 8 hours stays constant and then divides 8 hours among Fred and Barney according to their availability.... so 4 hours each. If the task type is Fixed Units, then the duration will also shrink since you will only need 4 clock hours to produce 8 manhours of work divided between Fred and Barney. After you play with it a bit, you will get the hang of it. Thank God for those little scheduling notes to help us out. -- If this post was helpful, please consider rating it.
