Resource Group

Resource groups enables you to create a group of resources to be assigned together to a single project task. For example, if you have a group of engineers that typically work on tasks together, you can create a resource group for these engineers. Then, when creating project tasks, you can assign the group to the task instead of each engineer. When assigning groups to a project task, you can choose to divide the estimated work evenly across the members of the resource group or you can assign each member the estimated work entered for the task. It is available when the Project Management feature is enabled.
