How do I alter the number of units (%) a resource is expending on a task over the duration of the task?
For instance, a resource is assigned to a task from Jan 1/01 until Feb 23/01. From Jan 1 until Jan 31, they spend 50% of their time, but from Feb 1 onwards, they dedicate 100% of their time. How can I do this without making the second section a separate task?
If you are working with MS PROJECT 98 or later version, you can contour your resource assignment (exactly what you want) in the RESOURCE USAGE view. You can type the exact assignment in the cell on the chart corresponding to the time period. You have to be careful thou and check the task type (FD,FW,FU and effort driven or non ed)
