Hmmm. Have you increased the working hours per day as well?
project prj "Prj" "1.0" 2003-01-01 2003-04-01 {
workinghoursperday 10
}
This settings affects the conversion between working hours and working days as
well as what's a daily load of 1.0.
So, for a temporary increase you could have increased the load to 1.3 or so.
task t1 "Task 1" {
effort 20d
allocate joe { load 1.3 }
}
Now if joe has 10 hour working days (define with workinghours) he will be
loaded 10 hours a day. You could have written 'load 2.0' as well, but since
he only has 10 hours working time, you can't overload him even more.
One more caveat: workinghoursperday defaults to 8. So 'effort 20d' are 20 * 8
hours. Not 20 10-hour-days.
