Summary

For every issue your project has, the common symptom is often overallocation. In this chapter, you have been provided with a lot of ammunition to combat these issues. You should use the tools provided by Project to recognize the presence of root causes, diagnose them, and finally resolve overallocation.

There are even more advanced techniques we can use to resolve overallocation, and we will explore them in combination with project tracking techniques later in this book. Such problems on Project often cause the schedule to deviate from its original intended course. We need powerful tools to continuously navigate our project's course.

In the next chapter, we will explore the concept of baselines and learn about Project's support when it comes to baselining our project.
