Extra time to a task

How do you add extra 'buffer' time to a task / reduce time on a task - not the number of days.

RE: Extra time to a task

Hi Jo

If I understand you correctly you might want to adjust how much work a resource will be carrying out on a task e.g. allowing 5 days duration for a task that takes perhaps an hour per day.

You can achieve this by switching to Resource Usage view and editing the assigned work for each task on a day by day basis.

I hope this is helpful. If you have any other questions please do not hesitate to contact us.

Kind regards,

Andrew

MS Project tip:

Using the Quick Access Toolbar in Project 2010

The Quick Access Toolbar is included in virtually every Office product, including Project 2010 as well as Outlook 2010, Word 2010, Excel 2010, and PowerPoint 2010.

You will find the Quick Access Toolbar in the top-left side of the window. To begin, click the Customize button (it's the little black arrow at the end of the toolbar).

Simply click the commands you want to include.

Virtually any command can be added to the Quick Access Toolbar. Click the More Commands option and a new window will open from where you can browse the commands including those not on the ribbon.
