Effort-driven scheduling
Effort-driven scheduling maintains the same total work for a task when you change the number of resources assigned to the task by adjusting the amount of work each resource does. Remember this phrase: Effort-Driven = Keep Work Constant.
Imagine you’re at a pizza party. Effort-driven scheduling is like having more friends (resources) to help make the pizza (the task). If you have more friends helping, you can prepare the pizza faster, but only if you have enough kitchen space and ingredients. Too few friends and the pizza will take longer to make; too many friends and you might just end up with a crowded kitchen!
In Microsoft Project, effort-driven tasks work the same way: adding more resources can speed up a task, but only if the task is set up to benefit from those extra hands.
