After you have completed converting your team plan, in Microsoft Project 2000, you can fine-tune your schedule. Although the converted plan includes defined tasks and assigned resources, you may need to define additional task relationships and take care of resource overallocations to ensure that the schedule meets your needs. You can do this by:

• Creating task dependencies   Microsoft Project 2000 allows you to define four types of task relationships: start-to-start, finish-to-finish, finish-to-start, and start-to-finish. When you first examine the project plan created by the converter, you may want to establish relationships between related tasks by creating dependencies.
• Defining task constraints   Microsoft Project 2000 enables finer control over schedule by defining additional constraints for individual tasks. While constraints defined in Team Manager are retained, Microsoft Project allows a wider range of constraints including As Late As Possible, Finish No Earlier/Later Than, Must Finish On, and Start No Earlier/Later Than. As in Team Manager, the default for all tasks is As Soon As Possible; however, by carefully constraining start or end dates for specific tasks, you can fine-tune the schedule and/or ensure that the schedule calculated by Microsoft Project 2000 approximates the schedule that you had in Team Manager.
• Performing resource leveling   Another feature that affects the start dates of specific tasks is resource leveling. Resource leveling refers to the practice of delaying the start of certain tasks to avoid over-allocation or conflicts between resources. Microsoft Team Manager performs resource leveling automatically, as defined by its best-fit resource scheduling model. Microsoft Project 2000 does not level resources by default; however, you can choose to perform resource leveling. Microsoft Project 2000 allows precise control over resource leveling, allowing you to level resources for the entire project or only for selected tasks, and to set the priority in which tasks are leveled. To level resources in Microsoft Project 2000, on the Tools menu, click Resource Leveling, and then click Level Now.
• Changing resource allocations   In cases where a resource is assigned to a task at less than full time, change the allocation to 100%. In cases where a resource is a "team" resource instead of an individual, where appropriate, apply more than one resource. For example, apply two or 200% of a "Painter" resource to a task.
