Resource Graph View in Microsoft Project

The resource graph, obtainable by clicking on the 'Resource Graph' on the left-hand side toolbar, displays a graph for each resource defined in the project. By using this graph you can spot resources that have been assigned too much (over utilization) or too little (under utilization) tasks within the project. One of the primary goals of a project manager is make sure that people are being used at the optimal level of utilization. Over allocated resources burnout and do not perform well over the life of the project; under allocated resources are an added expense to the project since you're paying for their time even if you don't keep them busy.

Project management is a constant juggling act and resource utilization is just one of the many balls you must juggle. Microsoft Project makes is fairly easy to spot resource utilization problems.
