MPP-Resources
Define resource availability and working calendars for your project activities. Resources determine when activities can run and are critical for realistic schedules.
Purpose
Resources constrain when and how activities can be executed. Proper resource definitions (capacity, availability windows, calendars) are essential for realistic scheduling results.
When to use
Use this module after activities have been defined and before configuring scheduling parameters.
Good practices
- Define realistic working calendars and availability periods (shifts, weekends, holidays).
- Ensure all activities reference valid resources and expected capacities.
- Review constraints before submitting an order (availability gaps, over-allocation, missing calendars).
Common mistakes
- Resources with no availability (empty calendar windows).
- Mismatch between activity requirements and resource definitions (wrong IDs, missing links, wrong capacity).
