Multiple resources assigned to a task

[Babar]

Hi,
I had a question related to assigning multiple resources to a task.
Here is the scenario:

- Let's say a task is assigned 8 hrs of work
- 4 resources are assigned to it, with each resource 100% units
- Therefore, each resource is supposed to work 2 hrs on this task.
Correct?
- The first 3 resources enter their actual work = 2 hrs and adjust
remaining time to 0 hrs.
- The 4th resource didn't end up working on the task and therefore,
enters actual work = 0hrs and remaining work = 0hrs.

Now my question is will Project show the task as 100% complete or not?
Secondly, would it adjust the original work value? Finally, does the
total actual work end up as 6hrs?

Thanks. I'd appreciate the help.

Hi,

Yes the task should be 100%, yes it does adjust original work and yes the
actual work is 6.

Select Tools, Tracking, Save Baseline before updating to track where you are
after updating compared to before.

Thanks Rod for the insight.

Also, what if the 4th resource doesn't enter the time? Would it show
the task 100% complete then even though the 4th resource didn't perform
any work on that particular task?

If the 4th resource still has work, the task can't be 100% complete. But if
they have 0 work and 0 remaining work it can.
