SS Project Plan: Auto adjust start/end date based on Resource vacation time

Hi, I have a project with Work Breakdown schedule, that has tasks assigned to resources. Our PMO policy is very strict in the way resources are allocated to tasks i.e., no resource should have more than 1 task assigned to them for the/within the same duration. This also includes vacation time. Coming from MS Project, there is a feature in there where adding vacation time against a specific resource will auto adjust the end date to accommodate for the duration and the vacation time off

For example:

Task 1 - Assigned to Resource A

  • Duration: 10 days
  • Original Start Date: 4/1/24
  • Original End Date: 4/10/24

Vacation Planned for : 5 days 4/5/24 - 4/9/24

  • New Duration: 15 days
  • New Start Date: 4/1/24
  • New End Date: 4/15/24

The same is applicable if the start date falls at the start of or within the planned vacation time



Thanks

Aashanram
