Replacing Resources on Assignments

     

Sometimes a resource that had been working on a task needs to be pulled off that task. This could be because the resource is required on another task or project, is sick, or has left the company. Project provides a way to replace a resource on an assignment even if it's already done some actual work. The Replace button on the Assign Resources dialog takes care of this functionality. The great part about it is that you can still keep track of the fact that the old resource did some of the work, whereas the new resource did the rest.
