Chapter 10: Assigning and Scheduling Resources and Costs

Overview

Assigning resources in Microsoft Project does more than add tasks to a lot of peoples’ to-do lists. Assigned resources plus the sequence and links between project tasks combine to form the project schedule. In this chapter, we’ll work with assignments, tasks, and resources to create a schedule that correctly reflects the nature of the work being done in the project before the project starts and as it progresses through development. This chapter covers the following topics:

  • Understanding duration, work, and units

  • Working with effort-driven scheduling and task types

  • Assigning a resource to project tasks

  • Assigning multiple resources

  • Applying different rate tables to assignments

  • Contouring resource assignments
