Re: [Planner] Resource dependencies

For instance, imagine you had 2 6-hour tasks both allocated to the same resource. PMW would allocated 6 hours of task 1 and 2 hours of task 2 on day 1 and the remaining 4 hours of task 2 on day 2.

Hmmm.  This appears to be the same model.  The Planner would do the same 
thing if the "Resource Units" were set to 100% (BTW, the Planner should 
label this column as %).  It's just that the Planner offers to limit a 
resource to something less (or more for that matter) than 100% at a time.

That percentage figure reflects the Manager's directive to the resource 
to split his/her time.  The planner would not be fiddling with these 
settings.
