I have discovered an issue while using Project and multiple resources. There
seems to be a problem calculating the overall work for a task.
When I have a task that has multiple resouces, especially when broken into
percentage of time spent on a task, the work calcuation is not correct. For
example, the task below is effort driven, and has 3 resources working on it,
the work should be 54.72 hours....
Task Duration Start Finish Work
Resources
Transition to Husker 7.6 days 6/22/09 7/7/09 40.32 hrs "Lehman
Michelle[25%],Hoeppner Kent[15%],Goldsberry David[50%]"
When I break the task into 2 tasks (like below), Project calculates the work
correctly for each task, and the overall sum is correct:
Task Duration Start Finish Work
Resources
Transition to Husker 7.6 days 6/22/09 7/7/09 24.32 hrs "Lehman
Michelle[25%],Hoeppner Kent[15%]"
Transition to Husker II 7.6 days 6/22/09 7/1/09 30.4 hrs Goldsberry David[50%]
There are some tasks that calculate correctly with 3 or 4 resources, and
some do not. Has anyone seen this before. We are using MS Project Pro, with
the Project Server 2007. We have upgraded to the latest service packs.
This is certainly effecting our resource allocation calcuation roll-up.
Thanks for any help.
