leveling for non-fulltime resources?
Hi everyone,
I have seen multiple forum posts with questions about leveling and units < 100%, but haven't found the answer I was looking for. I am using Omniplan 2.1.2. My example: - two tasks: Start (1d) and Finish (6d) - resource group "my team" with John and Mary - resources are set to "keep effort fixed" - the team works part-time (50%) - I assign the tasks to "my team" To specify the resources are working part time, I have set their units to 50%. They don't have fixed schedules, all I know is that they work 20 hours a week. When I level my project, each task is done both by John (50% of 50%) and Mary (50% of 50%). This is not what I expect. I would expect only one person to work on the task, and automatically adjust the duration if necessary. Any suggestions? |
When you make the assignment, OmniPlan by default tries to get 100% units assigned to it. In your case it's able to grab two resources to achieve that. If you select the tasks, hop over to the Task: Assignments inspector and set the "Assigned amount" of the group to 50% you'll get what you want.

Thanks Tom. In some cases it makes sense to get 100% units assigned. In other cases it does not as the task needs to be finished by the same person that started it. E.g. "read a book", or "walk from A to B".
Assigned amount limits it by task, I would like the amount to automatically depend on the selected resource. But that would then be for a future version of Omniplan I guess. :-) |
