Duration decreases when asign more than one work resource
I have a problem with project, when asign more than one work resource to a fixed units task, the duration is decreased by project. It did not happen before. It reduce duration! it ...
LuisMadrid,
Let me add one more thing to Ignacio's response. Project schedules using what is called a work equation.
Duration = work/units
Where duration is the time span for performing the task
Work is the effort required by one or more resources to complete the task
Units is the number of resources expressed as a percent or decimal value
The type of task (fixed units, fixed work, or fixed duration) determines which of the variables in the work equation remains constant while the other two variables vary.
