Keep both projects in the capacity view
Synthetic worker Lin has twelve project hours this week after other assigned duties. Project A reserves eight and B seven. Task B includes a three-hour preparation unit that the supplied skills record allows Sam to take; Sam has four free hours. The plan does not assume additional working hours.
| Worker | Before | Approved change | After / availability |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lin | A 8 + B 7 = 15 | Move B preparation 3 to Sam | 12 / 12 hours |
| Sam | 0 new project hours | Accept B preparation 3 | 3 / 4 hours |
Reassign the defined task, not an unnamed excess
- Combine both project allocations
- Identify three-hour excess
- Check preparation skill and Sam capacity
- Record accepted reassignment
- Update both project plans
If Sam cannot accept, Lin remains overallocated; show three unscheduled hours rather than deleting them from demand.
Lin keeps twelve hours and Sam takes three. Record the task reference so project B’s preparation has one current owner. The original fifteen hours of work remain in the plan across both workers.
How much unallocated capacity remains for Sam after accepting?
Show the worked answer
One hour: four available minus three assigned. Lin has zero spare project hours under this plan.
