1. Open Rooms8 . 2. Switch to the Gantt Chart view and scroll to view the task bars for the 2 Plan Approval and 3 Obtain Permits tasks. Notice that the Manager resource, which is overallocated, is assigned to both. 3. Split the 2 Obtain Approval task so that the first day of the task is scheduled for 6/7/2018 and ends 6/8/2018 ; the next days of the task are scheduled for 6/10/18 and ends 6/16/18. 4. Switch to the Resource Allocation view and notice that the 2 Manager resource no longer appears in red. 5. Switch to the Gantt chart view and remove the split. 6. Change the leveling order to ID Only . ( Hint: Select OK after making the change, not Level Now .) 7. Return the leveling order to the default, which is Standard . 8. Switch to the Resource Sheet view and notice that the 2 Manager resource appear in red. 9. Make sure the time period in which Microsoft Project looks for overallocations to Day by Day and level the entire project. Notice that the 2 Manager resource still appears in red as it is overallocated for more work than can be completed in one day. 10. Select the 2 Manager resource, change the time period in which Microsoft Project looks for overallocations to Week by Week , and level the 2 Manager resource. 11.
