How to Analyze Resource Assignments and Allocations in Primavera P6
Most project delays don't start with a missed deadline.
Here's what I see happening on projects constantly:
✅ The schedule looks fine on paper.
✅ Activities are sequenced perfectly.
❌ But one resource is assigned to 3 tasks simultaneously at 100% and nobody noticed.
This is exactly why reviewing resource assignments in Primavera P6 is not optional, it's critical.
In my latest tutorial, I walk through how to:
→ Open the Resource Usage Profile to spot overloads visually
→ Filter assignments by resource to isolate the problem
→ Use the Activity Table view to cross-check units and durations
→ Identify where resources are stretched thin before it hits your critical path
