Question Link
Answer
If you don’t want to level, you can try other ways to resolve overallocations.- Replace one resource with another who is available to work at that time.- Replace more skilled resources on critical tasks early in the project. A more skilled resource is likely to get the same job done in less time.- Change a task link so that some tasks start at the same time.- Spread the workload out by Increase the duration of tasks with overallocated resources.- Reduce workload by reducing the amount of work required for completing the task.- Change the working hours of resources to shorten the duration of tasks.- Reduce the duration of tasks, especially critical tasks that directly impact the project end date.- Check that resources are not working during non-working time. If a resource is working during non-working hours, Project will show them as overallocated.
