You can see design Product Designer1 is working on detailed products back, but also RFP it's working on this one now. Allocation starts right here on these days. So we know Product Designer1 is over allocated, so let's see where the over allocation starts over. So now it's on every day so we can detect which exact dates we have a problem. So let's look at our history gant again and extend it to see the gant and I'm going to make against a little zoomed in So we will have a better day to day look. So we're back in our project Libre file and we know that we have a problem with designer one and we have a problem with Manufacturing 1. Let me show you how we will do it in project Libre. This is why in a free software you don't have this capability. There are no exact algorithms for solving this. Now, let me remind you that this is all heuristics. But in return we have no one who is over allocated. Instead of 162 days, it will take 186 days. But the timing of the project has changed. And now, when I say level all, you would see that there are no red icons here. So what basically tells you is that it is unable toe level within slack, so I can go back now and change the leveling options. And you would see when I say level resource is and I'm going to say level all of them it comes back and says it cannot resolve the over allocation of manufacturing engineering one. I'm going to first pick level Onley within available slack. I want to show you what the leveling options are. I want you to pay attention to what will happen as I decide to fix this problem. The way we can do this in Microsoft Project is by using the software to solve the problem for us. But Product Designer1 and manufacturing engineering one are both over allocated. And what are they now like the expected Marketing 2 has been resolved using its slack. But we still have re sources that are over allocated. So I'm going to say level now, you see is that marketing plan now, we'll start on the 17th of February, and that's exactly what we had when we leveled marketing to using it slack. I'm going to go to resource and I'm going to say level the resource and I'm going to pick level resource marketing to it is default is to level within slack first. So let me show you how Microsoft would have done that going back to gant. We know that we can solve the Marketing 2 using leveling within slack. I'll go to resource and look at the resource sheet and you would see exactly like we were expecting Marketing 2, Product Designer1 and manufacturing Engineering one are all over allocated. Microsoft project automatically highlights fitch tasks have over allocated resource is so to see which re sources are over allocated. If it starts on 16th of November, it will finish on the 29th of June of the following year. As you can see, the project is exactly the same. This is the entry page off the same project when using Microsoft Project software. Now, let me show you this project in Microsoft Project and see how that is done. And we know that we have to fix manufacturing Engineering one. And vendor, it's not in our resource is an outside supplier, so we know that we have to fix Product Designer1. Manufacturing engineering one is also overloaded and manufacturing engineering two is fine. Product Designer1, is one that is overloaded, you have to fix this. So it's not extending above that marketing to same thing. So Marketing 1, if you go quickly through our contract, we will see that it's all within its allowable resource given to us. I'm going to extend this so you can see it. I showed that in a previous video, and now I can see which re sources are overloaded by going to resource looking at resource usage and then also asking for the history that to be shown here. We already changed marketing plan and so that it starts after the marketing to will become available. Let me show you this project that we've been working on and just go over it quickly. So in some ways, Project Libre is a more accessible software because it runs on Mac and Windows operating system. Microsoft Project is not free, and also Microsoft Project does not run on a Mac operating system. But again, I want to reiterate that project Libre the rate is a free software available. And how do we come up with a schedule that starts with re sources that are within their available time? In this regard, Microsoft Project can give you some capabilities that is not available in Project Libre. In this video, I will show you how to fix over allocated Resource is when using their slack is not going to be enough.
