Project managers struggle to enforce resource allocation constraints across multiple tasks in MS Project

Project managers need to limit team members to specific maximum allocations per task per day while maintaining an overall project allocation target, but MS Project lacks intuitive configuration for these nested constraints. This causes resource over-allocation, schedule conflicts, and manual workarounds that waste hours of planning time. Current solutions require complex formulas, macros, or abandoning the tool entirely for custom solutions.
