Leveling order in Project

[Peter M.]

Hey people,
I do not get project's leveling order at all. I'm talking of the standard
method which I know considers predecessors, slack, dates, constraints and
priorities.
Now for test purposes I set up two identical projects with only 1 task using
the same single resource assigned 100% to each task. Having both projects
open now, I click level resources (no matter within which project) and it
delays one. How does it decide? There's no difference in the 2 projects. I'm
interested because my boss asked me to explain this to him ...

Another case: I set up 3 equal projects, but one starts a week later than
both the others. If now I click level resources, one project stays at the
beginning, the one that is scheduled to start a week later gets delayed, and
the third one (which has the same start date as the first one) gets delayed
the most.
So, what's the point in delaying considering dates? What in the world does
that mean? Dates?


I will gratefully appreciate any answer to that odd issue. Thanks in advance!

Regards,
Peter.

Hello! Perter M.
It's depeneds on a series of releted project files which you
share resource in resource pool. So, at resource pool files, by
manu command Tool > Resource Sharing> Share Resource. and now you can
look at it respectively. It's the answers
of your boss.
