For this reason, I have always recommended that users not to use the team planner view to reassign work but to just use it as a reference. This is totally unnecessary as we are not trying to override the start date of the task. In Project 2010, when reassigning work to an available resource (not adjusting the ‘Start’ and ‘Finish’ dates of the task), the team planner view would apply a ‘Start No Earlier Than’ scheduling constraint which is the same as the task’s start date.
When rescheduling work to an available date in both Project 20, the tool uses constraints to push the work out. I noticed that one of the annoying features that I found in Project 2010 was no longer present. I was demonstrating the ‘Team Planner’ view to the class and explaining the caveats of using the ‘drag and drop’ feature to push work out to available dates, and reassigning work to alternative resources.
Last week while teaching our ‘EPMA 100’ – Managing Projects with Microsoft Project 2013 course, I had one of my “oh cool, I just learned something” moments. This view allows a user to visualize assignments within a project schedule and is particularly useful for visualizing overallocations within your project team. The Team Planner view was introduced in Microsoft Project Professional 2010, (it’s not available in Project Standard).
