I would NOT create individual resources as that defeats the goal of having a generic resource team.

Each feature has 3 tasks that will be performed in a logical sequence, develop (implement), document, and test. Assuming the implementation is the starting element for each feature, create a plan with just that one task for all 35 features. Assign the team resource at 100% to all 35 implementation tasks (assuming only one member of the team is needed for each). The plan will show overallocation so apply leveling. ThatIf you do need/want to start some features before others, use the Priority field to establish a leveling order. Leveling will re-distribute the workload and establish a start for each feature. Now, add the documentation and testing tasks to each of the implementation tasks using a finish-to-start dependency. That will insure that once a feature is started, it will be continued without interruption.

Hope this helps.

Assume eachEach feature has 3 tasks that will be performed in a logical sequence, develop (implement), document, and test. To facilitate planningAssuming the implementation is the starting element for each feature, create a plan with just that one task groups are linked butfor all 35 features are not. In this example of 5 features (scalable as needed) task groups are linked and aAssign the team resource of 3 individualsat 100% to all 35 implementation tasks (again scalable asassuming only one member of the team is needed for each) is created with a Max Unit value of 300%. The plan will show overallocation so apply leveling. That resource group is assigned to all taskswill re-distribute the workload and establish a start for each feature. With that basic structureNow, add the resource team is overallocated (day by day) on alldocumentation and testing tasks. enter image description here

Since it is undesirable to break a feature's task sequence once it is started each task in a feature's group is assigned a task priority, arbitrarily since completion of any feature is arbitrary relative to the other featuresimplementation tasks using a finish-to-start dependency. WithThat will insure that once a unique priority set for each task group the plan can be leveled using "priorityfeature is started,standard" it will be continued without interruption. The result is: enter image description here
