Delete a Resource Assignment in Project Planning

If you assign a resource to work on a project and later want to remove that assignment, you can do that on the Labor tab of the Projects form.

You can also delete resource assignments in the Project View grid or Resource View grid in Resource Management.

If the assignment has job-to-date (JTD) hours or has been saved as part of the baseline plan, you cannot delete the assignment. In those cases, however, you can still use the procedure below to delete all planned hours for the assignment.

To delete a resource assignment on the Labor tab of the Projects form:

  1. In the Navigation pane, go to the Hubs section and click Projects.
  2. Select the project for which you want to delete a resource assignment.
  3. Switch the Project/Plan toggle to Plan.
  4. On the Actions bar, click Other Actions > Check Out.
  5. Click the Labor tab.
  6. Expand the work breakdown structure (WBS) until the resource assignment row is visible.
  7. Hover over that WBS row and click at the end of the row.
  8. Click Delete.
  9. When the confirmation message displays, click Delete again.
