Assign Resources with Units = 50%
- Jan 06, 2025
Marcos,
What you are doing "wrong" is assuming that duration equates to work. It does not. When you assign the resource to the task, that resource is only available for 4 hours on 3/1/25 so that's all he/she works.
If your intent is to have the work content at 8 hours, set the Work field value before assigning the resource. Then when you assign the resource the task will be spread over 2 days (i.e. 4 hours each day based on that resource's availability) with a start on 3/1/25 and a finish on 6/1/25.
Hope this helps.
