Effort Driven Scheduling

The brief description of Effort Driven Scheduling is shown below:-

(1) Assigning resources to tasks affects the schedule differently, if the tasks are Effort-Driven.

(2) Effort Driven Scheduling means that as we add resources to an effort-driven task, the work is redistributed among all the resources to maintain the same amount of work over all. Likewise if we remove resources from an effort-driven task then the work is redistributed among the remaining resources to maintain the same amount of work over all.

(3) By default tasks have fixed units and are effort-driven. This means that as more resources are assigned to a task there is less work to be done, adding resources reduces duration.

(4) If we have a fixed duration, effort-driven task then by assigning more resources, reduces the overall amount of work to be done and also reduces the overall duration of work.


(5) Effort-Driven scheduling only takes effect when resources are added to or removed from a task.

(6) Effort-Driven calculation rules are not applied when you change work duration and unit.
