You are a project manager who uses Microsoft Project 2013.
A resource manager notifies you that your assigned resource is now only available 50% to work on the communication plan task. The estimated amount of work for the task remains the same at 16 hours. The task must also be completed within the original two-day commitment even though the resource is only available 50% of the time.
You need to bring on another resource to assist with the remaining 50% of the work while ensuring that the same amount of work gets done in the two days that were originally committed.
Which three actions should you perform in sequence? (To answer, move the appropriate three actions from the list of actions to the answer area and arrange them in the correct order.)




Answer :

Explanation:
Box 1: Assign the additional resource to the task.
Box 2: Set the task type to fixed work,
Box 3: Change both the new and existing resource units to 50%.
Note:
* For a fixed-work task
/ You can change the assignment units value and Project will recalculate the duration.

The assignment units value is not affected.
