Resolution
Project Server offers you several methods for avoiding
an overallocation when you assign a resource to a task. These methods are:
·
In the Assign Resources dialog of Microsoft Project Professional, select the
desired resource and click the Graphs
button. Click the Select graph pick
list and select the Remaining
Availability graph. This graph shows you the resource's Remaining
Availability across all projects in the portfolio. Scroll to the time period
required for the task and determine the resource’s availability during that time
period.
·
Apply the Resource Usage view in Microsoft Project Professional. Right-click
anywhere in the timephased grid (yellow/white timesheet) and select the
Remaining Availability details from the shortcut menu. Examine the
resource's assigned Work and Remaining Availability across all projects in the
portfolio. Scroll to the time period required for the task and determine the
resource’s availability during that time period.
·
Log into Project Web Access and navigate to the Resource Center page. Select the
resource in question and then click the
View Availability button. Click the
Choose a view pick list and select the
Remaining Availability view. Scroll to the time period required for the task
and examine the resource’s Remaining Availability during that time period. If
necessary, expand the Details section at the bottom of the page and study the
project work assigned to the resource during that time period.
