There are three different types of task categorisation available:
Non-Effort Driven - to be used when you want to fix a task start and end date and assign resources within these two dates.
Accumulated
Work - will update the start or end date based on the
task constraint selected and resource assignments made.
This is sometimes referred to as critical
path resourcing, as the worker with the longest resource
assignment guides the task start or end date.
Calendared -
Resourcing will set task start and end dates purely on resource
assignments made.
(The earliest resource assignment will set the start date, the
latest resource assignment will set the end date).
Below is a table showing the different types of resourcing scenarios and the type of task that would be of most benefit.
Scenario |
Use Task Type |
I know when my task must start and finish and I need to assign resources to complete the work between these two dates. |
Non Effort Driven |
I know when my task must start or finish, I know how many days I want to spend on the task, and I need to assign resources to complete the work within this time period. |
Non Effort Driven |
I know when my task must start, I need to calculate how quickly it can finish based on the staff I need to resource to it. |
Accumulated Work |
I know when my task must finish, I need to calculate how soon it must start based on the staff I need to resource to it. |
Accumulated Work |
I am using resourcing for cost based forecasting only, the task dates are not important. |
Accumulated Work |
I have agreed specific dates where work must be completed. This work is spread over multiple dates and must take place on these dates. |
