Resource Sheet Question

[Té]

On the Resource Sheet when you change a resource's availability to part time,
how come the max units goes to 0%?

Hi,

Same question as on the other post: where did you change the resource's
availability? My hunch is that you did that in the availability from-to
window.
That means the resoruce's max units vary in time.
What you see in the resource sheet is the Max Units as of NOW.
That will than be 0%.
You probably set 50% from Date1 to Date 2: that leaves the rest of infinity
to 0%.

Thanks again! How does Microsoft Project know which tasks fall into the
critical path? Is it based on the dependencies?

 

[Jan De Messemaeker]

Hi,

On dependencies AND constraints if any. Project does a forward calculation
to determine the earliest start date (constraints and epe,ndencies can come
in) and also a backward pass to calcukate the latest start date. For a
critical task both dates coincide.
