Chapter 6. Working with Resources

Prerequisites

• Have a project in which you have already entered resources.

• Understand project management.

Basic resource information, such as the resource name, availability, and pay rate, is enough to successfully manage a project. However, there are many things you can do to refine a resource's schedule.

In this chapter, we'll work through some resource properties that will allow you to further define the parameters of a resource, such as applying a resource calendar and applying resource availability for different dates in the project. We'll also learn how to apply contours and delay the date a resource begins working on a task.
