How do I show a resource going from one task to another? After I layout all the task I may be over allocated and want to send that resource to another task when I am completes. Is there a way to link resources from different task?

Distribute project work evenly (level resource assignments)

You can quickly find an overallocated resource in any resource view, where the names of overallocated resources are highlighted in red.

Prior to leveling, you may want to set the task priorities, which are an indication of a task's importance and its availability for leveling. The priority value that you enter is a subjective value between 1 and 1000, which enables you to specify the amount of control you have over the leveling process. For example, if you don't want Project to level a particular task, set its priority level to 1000. By default, priority values are set at 500, or a medium level of control. Tasks that have lower priority are delayed or split before those that have higher priority.

You can also set an entire project's availability for leveling by setting the project's priority. For example, if you are sharing resources with another project that serves as a resource pool, and if you don't want to level the tasks in one of the sharer files, then set that sharer file's priority level to 1000.

Assigning a task to another resource

If you are currently assigned to a task that should be assigned to another team member, you can reassign that task in Microsoft Office Project Web Access. The task reassignment does not need to be approved by the project manager before it is available to be added to the team member's timesheet and task status.

NOTE Depending on your organization's settings, task reassignment may not be available for your project in Office Project Web Access. If you need to reassign a task but you do not see any options to do so on the My Work page, contact your project manager.

On the Quick Launch, under My Work, click Task Center.
Point to the task that you are reassigning, click the arrow that appears, and then click Reassign Task.
TIP To reassign multiple tasks, select the check box next to each task that you are reassigning, and then click Reassign Work.

In the Select New Resource(s) grid, click Select Resource in the Reassign To column, and then select a resource from the list. This list contains all resources that are currently allocated to the project.
NOTE If you are a team leader, you can reassign the task to the entire team of resources, sharing the work equally. If you are not a team leader, tasks can be reassigned to only one resource. If you need to reassign the task to multiple resources and you are not the team leader, contact your project manager.

In the Start box, type the start date for the reassignment, or select the start date by using the calendar.
If you have comments about the reassignment that you want to submit to the project manager, enter this information in the Comments box.
Click Submit to add the reassignment to your task status.
On the Task Center page, select the check box in the left column for the task that you are reassigning.
Click Submit Selected to submit the reassignment to your project manager. The reassignment does not need to be approved by the project manager before it is available to be added to the team member's timesheet and task status.

Schedules shift throughout the project life cycle, as tasks are planned and completed. You can use Microsoft Office Project 2007 to help understand how changes to one task may affect the rest of the project and to track schedule changes.

With a task selected, click Task Drivers on the toolbar. The Task Drivers pane provides information about what factors are affecting the start date of the selected task.

You can click different tasks without closing the Task Drivers pane. The Task Drivers pane always displays the scheduling drivers for whatever task is selected.

In addition to the task name and start date, the following information is displayed in the Task Drivers pane, as applicable.

If you inserted another project into the current project, you must first expand the project summary task before viewing its task drivers. If the task is not expanded, you will receive an error message.
If the information in the Task Drivers pane is incorrect, or you are unsure of its accuracy, press F9 to recalculate the project and refresh the information by using the current project data.
