Task Usage
This task usage report depicts the number of hours, start times, and finish times for each task
(and for each resource assigned to the task).
•

Inventory tasks are front-loaded to have the task complete as soon as possible.

•

Report times are back-loaded to plan the time for the report to be completed and ensure availability of resources.

•

Due to resource leveling with a resource constraint, some tasks are started, then paused, then finished at a later date to ensure that the project is not delayed by a second task to which the resource is assigned.
