Create a Resource-Based Schedule

Use this procedure to create a resource-based schedule.

To create a resource-based schedule:

  1. Perform time analysis, and evaluate the schedule.
  2. If necessary, replan the project.
  3. Perform time-limited or resource-limited resource scheduling, as required.
  4. Display a histogram view of each resource assigned to the project to see where resources are over- or under-utilized.
  5. Make adjustments to the resource usage.
    You can adjust resource usage in a number of ways:
    • You can select a different scheduling option.
    • You can select another resource for a given activity.
    • You can change the resource requirements for the activity.
    • You can permit Open Plan to split, stretch, or reprofile the activity.
  6. Recalculate the schedule.
  7. Repeat the entire procedure as needed to develop a workable schedule.
