In the Assign Resources box, pick the resources to assign, and choose Assign. You can set how much time you want a person to spend with the Assign Resources box. Suppose you want to assign someone part time to a project. An engagement is an agreement between a project manager and a resource manager, to allow a specific resource to work on a project for a certain period of time, at a certain percentage of that resource's time, or for a certain number of hours.

Project shows this indicator if you need to request an engagement. If you're connected to Project Online, there may be some resources that require you request a resource engagement before the resource can be used on your project. In Project Professional 2016, some resources may require approval from a resource manager. To add resources like equipment and materials, see Add and assign material resources to tasks. Either enter a new name in the column, or add resources to your project before assigning them to work on tasks. If you don’t see any names in the list, then no one has been added to the project yet. If you don’t see the name of the person you want to assign, enter a new name. In the Gantt Chart, go to the Resource Names column.Ĭlick the arrow and pick the people to work on the task. After all, projects don’t get done by themselves.

Typically, once tasks are entered into a schedule, people are assigned to work on them.
