Replacing Resources in Engagements Will Remove Contours Created by the Project Manager

I recently came across this blog by Brian Smith. I though it was definitely worth sharing since Microsoft will be migrating resource plans to resource engagements this September. For those of you using resource engagements already, you know you can modify the contour in the timephased grid on the Resource Plan view. Project Pro will evenly distribute the allocation for the resource and Project Managers can modify the contour accordingly.

Check out Brian’s blog to see what happens to those contours when the Resource Manager edits the engagement request.
