I need to create multiple pools of resources (each containing interchangeable resources within). To clarify I need a pool of front-end developers, another of back-end developers, and a pool of testers. Each pool has temporary contractors that come and go from the project at different dates. Then, for example, I will have some Tasks that assigned to front-end only, whilst other as a mix of front-end and back-end.
I Googled this issue without luck. Any help would be welcome!
Try create a resource with its own calendar and a max capacity of 400%, 500% or whatever.
This is the way several pools of resources work in Project. For example, you can make a resource called "Testers", value 500% for 5 testers. Then, you can assign your task to that pool.
A pool of resources is when all resources in a pool have the same calendar and the same cost. If not, you don't have a pool, because you have a differente restriction in your project for each member. You need a cost and time baseline.
