View Resource Assignments in Project 2010

I have been in a new role that started about 4 months ago. I am one of the Project Server 2010 Administrators for my company.  My main passion is still ASP .NET development but you will start seeing more Microsoft Project topics on my blog.

Today I got a support call from a customer wanting to know how to view Resource Assignments for a project, so as I researched the answer I thought I would share the steps to do this.

Viewing Resource Assignments in Project Web Access

1. Go to “Project Center” and open the project by clicking it’s name
2. On the left navigation click the “Schedule” link to view the project schedule
3. In the ribbon change the “View” to one of the “Assignment” views

Viewing Resource Assignments in Project Professional 2010

1. Open Microsoft Project Professional 2010
2. In the Login dialog, deselect the “Load summary resource assignments” option
3. Open the project – I recommend always using “Retrieve the list of all projects from Project Server” instead of the local cache
4. On the View tab select “Resource Usage”

Now you will be able to view the assignments for each task.
