Changes to a resource’s allocation percentage do not affect duration

ALAIN-STEPHANE

Hi all ,

As a project manager , I am trying to use smatsheet and project settings functionality . But resource management appears to be undevelopped .

Is there any enhancement about this big issue : " Changes to a resource’s allocation percentage do not affect duration " .

I can see that all the community is expecting a solution .

I heard about " 10 000 ft by SMARTSHEET " which is supposed to adress resources issues . Do you know how to use it to solve the problem ?

Thanks !

Hi @ALAIN-STEPHANE

The allocation percentage is something you can set if multiple resources are allocated to the same task. For example, if you and I were both working on Task 1, I might give us each 50% of the task, or perhaps give you 90% and myself 10%.

However, if there is just one resource for the task, then you will want that resource to be at 100%.

If you are looking to split up that task to multiple, smaller sections, you can set up the way you organize the task with child rows to show this. Please see this other Community post where we discussed % allocation: https://community.smartsheet.com/discussion/65905/resource-management-best-practices-and-or-tips#latest

In regards to 10,000ft, this is a separate resource management platform. You can learn more about it and watch some videos on 10,000ft here: https://www.smartsheet.com/platform/10000ft
