Project can automatically level an overallocated resource's workload by delaying or splitting tasks until the resource is no longer overallocated. To maintain progress on tasks, you must make sure that resources are assigned to work consistently throughout the project and are not underutilized when work is needed. If a resource isn't needed as much as you had planned, you can limit the resource's availability and lower your project costs by reducing a resource's working days and times, shortening the span of dates during which the resource is available, and specifying less unit availability throughout the project.
Change a task duration. If the scope of a task has increased, you can increase task duration if no actual work has been entered to change the amount of work required of the resource assigned to complete the task. If actual work has been recorded, you must manually enter the remaining work on the task.
Replace a resource assignment with an underallocated resource to more evenly distribute work among team members, or remove a resource assignment from an underallocated resource so that the resource has more time available to be assigned to larger tasks. After you level the schedule and correct any overallocations or underallocations, you should review the schedule to make sure that you will still meet the budget and planned finish date for the project and any related projects.
Review resource workloads. Review resource workloads to see that you resolved the overallocations and underallocations that you wanted to fix and to see whether any other resources are now overloaded or underutilized. Set the start date or finish date for your project. Set the start or finish date if you set a baseline for your project and you want to view the time difference between the baseline and the currently scheduled end date.
Show the critical path. Show the critical path to check whether the critical path changed as a result of resolving any overallocations or underallocations. You might now see different dates, different tasks, and different resources associated with the critical path. Compare two versions of a project. If you have saved a backup copy of the plan, you can compare specific fields to make sure that the changes you made are what you intended.

Use resource leveling technique to resolve resource overallocation in tasks. Project Plan evaluates resource allocations and adjusts your plans so that your resources are not overallocated. A summary of how Project Plan fixed the overallocation will be displayed. What subscription do I need to have to use the Resource Leveling feature? You must have a Business Subscription to use the " Resource Leveling " feature. Note: If Project plan cannot fix the overallocation for any resource, the following alert will be displayed:.
Note that we cannot move tasks that has Actual Work performed so we cannot move Task 1 , and we cannot move a task before its predecessors. Be careful when performing operations using the Team Planner, as it may introduce constraints that may push the Project Finish Date. You can resolve resource over allocations by adjusting either tasks or resources in your project.
