Hello,
I am trying to accomplish something that - I think - should be quite common, but I cannot figure it out.
I have a task that requires a 9 weeks effort, and multiple resources that can work on it. I would like to assign resources to this task in a detailed way, at least week by week. As an example, assume I have five available resources, R1 to R5, and that the task is to start on W1. I would like to do something like:
T: 1 2 3
R1: X X X
R2: - - X
R3: - X -
R4: X X -
R5: - X X
This means that R1 will work on the task on W1, 2 and 3; R2 will work on it on W3, and so on. As you can see, the total number of weeks is 9, and the duration is 3 weeks.
I could do this with the percentages, but I find it a bit counter intuitive, and this does not allow me to know what R2 is doing on W2 or W3; I only know it’s allocated 33.3% on that task, but not actually when the work is going to happen.
Is there any way to achieve what I need?
Thanks for your help!
