Assign a resource to one or more program objects

A resource is the person who is accountable for completing the work on the assigned program object. Program objects that can have an assigned resource include program risks, issues, opportunities, event criteria, and program deliverables at any plan level (program, project, subproject, and event).

Whether you are assigning or replacing a resource, the following apply:

• Assign the resource after the program object is created, as you can't add the resource during its creation.
• If the selected program object, such as a program deliverable, is not in a valid released status, such as Work in Progress or No Status, then you can only add a resource to it.

Note: You can also assign and remove users when viewing program objects on the program timeline.

Procedure

1. Navigate to the desired deliverable (program, project, subproject, or event), risk, issue, opportunity, or event criteria.
2. Do one of the following:

To	Do
Assign a user to a single plan component.	Select the program object from the list. Click Resource Assignment > Assign Resource.
Assign a user to multiple plan components.	Enter multiselect mode and select the first object. Select each subsequent object of the same type that you want to include (a check mark appears after each selected object). Click Resource Assignment > Assign Resource.

3. In the Assign Resource panel, select the user or resource pool to assign to this program object and click Assign.

Tip: If you have a large number of users, you can filter the list by Group, Role, and Project. If you know the exact user or resource pool you are looking for, you can type the name into the Filter box.
