Adding and removing resources from a task

- If you're trying to shorten task duration…or offload work from overloaded team members,…chances are you'll consider adding more resources.…On the other hand, you might remove resources from tasks…because they have too much on their plates already.…We're gonna head down to the Painting tasks in this project…to see how this works.…I'm gonna select the first Painting task,…Paint 1st floor interior.…This is a 3-day task…and the painters are working 48 hours on it.…

The painters have said that they could use the help…if the gofer is available.…We're gonna add the gofer full time to the task.…Down in the Task Form,…I click the first blank Resource Name cell.…Then click the down arrow that appears…and I find the resource I want to add, GC Gofer.…Now there are a couple of things to think about here.…First of all, the task is effort driven…and that means that when I add the gofer,…the Total Work is going to stay the same.…

The other thing to remember is that Project…automatically uses the maximum units for the resource…
