If a resource's work schedule doesn't match the task schedule, you might ask the resource to adjust their schedule just for that task. After watching this video, you will be able to tell Project to ignore the resource's schedule for a task.
- [Bonnie] Hi, I'm Bonnie Biafore. … By default, Project takes resource schedules into account … when calculating a task's dates and duration. … But what if you want the task to run according … to a particular work calendar, … regardless of resources' schedules? … We're going to start by going to the task usage view. … On the task tab, I'm going to click the bottom half … of the Gantt chart button and choose task usage. … Here we have a sample task in this project, … and there are three resources assigned. … If I drag the vertical divider over to the left … so I can see the timephased grid, … you can see when the resources work, … and it depends on their work schedules. … Admin one works full-time the first week, … so they finish on Friday. … Admin two only works Monday through Wednesday, … so they work some of the hours the first week … and then have to wait until the following week to finish. … The network admin, it turns out, … this person has a vacation that ends on Monday, July 13th. …
