Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

You would have to add the resource/cost to the Level of effort as well. The Level of effort is in itself another activity but doesnt work in the same way as a summary bar would in MS Project?
