Problema asignacion de recursos
Hello everyone.
After analyzing the case that EduRuizAcciona ("Resource allocation problem") raised earlier, I would appreciate if someone can confirm the results of the following test:
1. New file.
2. Create a task T with the following characteristics:
- Auto scheduled Task Mode
- 1 day Duration (8h/d)
- Fixed Work Type
3. Assign resource R1 to task T (Work type, by default)
Verification:
- Task duration T = 1 d
- Resource work R1 = 8 h
- Task work T = 8 h
4. Assign resource R2 to task T (Work type, by default)
Verification:
- Task duration T = 0.5 d
- Resource work R1 = 4 h
- Resource work R2 = 4 h
- Task work T = 8 h
5. Assign resource R3 to task T (Work type, by default)
Verification:
- Task duration T = 0.5d
- Resource work R1 = 4 h
- Resource work R2 = 4 h
- Resource work R3 = 4 h
- Task work T = 12 h
If the results of point 5 are confirmed, I believe that there could be an error, both due to the concept of Fixed Work and due to the distribution of effort.
In versions prior to the current one (Project professional 2311), the final results were:
- Task duration T = 0.33 d
- Resource work R1 = 2.67 h
- Resource work R2 = 2.67 h
- Resource work R3 = 2.67 h
- Task work T = 8 h
I hope for some confirmation in some sense
Thanks a lot
Sorry but I don't know what Project Professional 2311 is. Are you referring to the build version? If so, the latest version for Project Pro 2019 is, version 2310 (build 16924.20150 CTR) released Nov 14. Using that version this is what I get (Standard calendar):
First resource assigned -
Second resource assigned -
Third resource assigned -
So, I'm not sure exactly what you are looking for but my results differ from yours.

Hello Jhon. John-project
Thank you, as always, for your valuable collaboration.
The version that I am using of Project Professional is the one shown in the following image, and that I update in File > Account > Update Options > Update Now
...and the results that Project currently shows me when consecutively assigning resources R1, R2 and R3, to a Work Type task of 1 day Duration, are those shown below, which seems incorrect to me (?)
I tried with previous versions and I get the desirable result that you included in your previous answer.

Yup, that's wrong. I finally found what update channel I think you are on (Microsoft Insider program, release notes current channel preview). There is a newer update dated November 20, version 2311 (build 17029.20038). Maybe that fixed something.

You might try checking that out.

Thanks John for your suggestion, although it was already updated to the latest version.
This compilation must refer to aspects of other Office applications, which do not affect Ms Project.
Thus, I must assume that there is an error in the results that the software gives and that it should be corrected as soon as possible, since it affects programming situations that may be important for users, as is probably the case that was raised in this same thread of discussion @EduRuizAcciona, and which has been the clue that led to identifying the error.
I will communicate this more than likely error to Microsoft through the ordinary channel, although I think there may be a member of this blog (Mr. Dale for example), who is seeing it, and has a greater influence than me to report more quickly, and to whom I will be very grateful.
