I have 2 tasks that must be done in sequence and in a consecutive way. How
can I force Project to keep them close to each other during the resource
level phase?

Thanks.

Bye

Franco

If you want the tasks to be sequencial, then have FS dependency btwn
them.

Just wondering why you looking at resource levelling. Do you have same
resource on both the tasks? If yes, you need to use the settings of
Resource Levelling and adjust the delay *manually*

Pl let us know if this helps

Franco - Let me try to make you :-) to some extent. If you want the
leveling (delay) to be applied automatically, set the "Leveling
calculations" to Automatic in "Resource Leveling" dialog box.

Few points to remember:
1. The above said setting, will auto delay the tasks on all resources
who are overallocated
2. You need to optimize the settings under "Resource Overallocations"
section in "Resource Leveling" dialog box to get the best fit; but
cant promise

Please let us know if this helps

Thank you very much! :-)

I tried, but it didn't work. :-(

I partially solved this way: after project levelling, I went to each of the
starting tasks and I set "Constraint type" to "Finish no earlier than". Note
that I didn't set any constranint date, but that Project 2010 automatically
sets a constraint date in a way I don't understand.
After this "magic", the dates are now close each other. I'd like to realize
if this fits only for my particular project, that, by the way, is programmed
"as late as possible", or if it's a standard behavior.


Thanks to all for the kind answers.

Bye

Franco
