Team Assignment Visibility in Project Server
Hi Brett, Generic resources are designed for resource forecasting - for seeing how many of a given type or skills you need on forecasted or future tasks in Project Online or Server. What you are looking for is called a 'team resource', which is essentially a way to group a set of people, then assign the 'team' to a task. From there a team member can 'pick up' the task, assign it to themselves, update progress, and send it to the PM for review and approval via the 'My Tasks' part of the tool.
There's some background on this here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/team-assignment-pool-resource-field-8717ff45-640d-46c3-b16d-697b48a0757d
You can create these types of resource groupings and assign them in Project Pro to tasks in your schedules. We have many clients that use these, esp in high volume task or agile/hybrid environments, where you often don't know who will perform a task, just that someone from a specific team needs to do and report progress on it.
Hope this helps.
