Resource Levelling
I need to do resource levelling but I am hesitant to do the automated levelling because my plan is close to 2000 lines long and need to keep an eye on how far out certain sections are pushing when levelling.
What is the best approach to resource levelling that you’d suggest? A few related questions below:
Some tasks take <1 hour to complete – is there a reason I wouldn’t want to level minute-by-minute or hour-by-hour? I read somewhere that day-by-day is recommended; however, when I do that there is no change to tasksIs it better to resource-level by section or by resource if doing it manually?Is there a way to prevent certain sections of the plan from pushing beyond a given date?If I resource-level and then a task from within a section is removed, will it automatically update the timings? Or only if automatic resource levelling is turned on?
Any tips would be greatly appreciated to help me resource level without blowing it up!
