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.
