Finally, Resource Leveling Explained
Bruce Geiser
Thank you for writing this article. I’ve helped a lot of co-workers become Microsoft Project certified but I’ve always steered them away from using Resource Leveling just because it seemed to cause more problems than it was worth. Now they’ve asked me to explain it to them and this helped. Perhaps we will get to the point where we can use this feature.

I have to admit, over the years using MSP, I’ve stayed away from Resource Leveling also. I like doing it manually, and find the best window for this is a two-panel view. Gantt view on top, and Resource Usage on bottom. Our just use the standard “Resource Allocation” view. What ever you like best. Also, if you apply multiple resources on a task, you will get some interesting (and at times unexpected) results with resource leveling. Example; if you have three people on a task, and all three need to work on that task at the same time, resource leveling will distribute the work based on the individual, not the task. Maybe not what you want for a “group think” task.
Thanks for the good article!!
