How Do I Interpret This Overallocation in Resource Usage View
I have a project where I have 3 developers assigned to work on tasks each at 50% for a total of 150%. So I set up just a single resource and assigned the units at 150%. I assigned the resources to t...
- John,
Glad you found the Work Availability field.
Okay, so among your three resources their total availability is 150% (max units). That translates to a total of 12h per day, or 60h per week. Any concurrent assignment over those limits will result in overallocation. Does that all make sense now?

It's not quite clear how you assigned the resources (I can't quite duplicate what you show) but, display the Work Availability field along with the Work and Overallocation. With a Max Unit value of 150%, you have 60h available in a normal 5 day workweek. However, as shown in your screen shot, the total work content for one week is 100h so therefore the 3 guy resource is overallocated 40h.
