| Project resource assignments can be used to limit the availability of resources at the project level. Each project can also be given a default resource which is used by default for tasks that have no assignment at the task level (none of the task's ancestors have an assignment).
|
|
|
| In general, you should not specify project level assignments unless you want to limit the amount of effort a resource can contribute to the project. By default all resources working in the project use a "Variable" assignment (which basically means that each resource uses project/task prioritization to determine the order in which tasks are worked on and devotes 100% of his/her effort to the top-priority task until completed, sharing time equally among projects/tasks with the same priority).
|
|
|
| For example, Joe Smith, Kelly Jones and Sam Miner are working on project A and project B. Joe and Kelly can work full time on the projects, but Sam should only spend 30% of his time on project A.
|
|
|
| In this case you would enter a Project Resource Assignment for Sam to limit his availability for the project to 30%. Since Joe and Kelly can devote all their time to the top-priority tasks (whether on Project A, B or both based on priority) no explicit assignment is required.
