What is the relationship between DURATION and WORK CONTENT.

RE: Project 2007

Hi Norman

Thank you for your question. The Duration represents how long you will allow for something to take place and Work represents the amount of activity that resources will carry out during that time.

For example you might allow 5 days duration to produce a report. During that time the total work required might be 10 hours.


I hope this helps - do let us know if you have any further questions.

Kind regards,
Andrew


 

MS Project tip:

Inserting Task Durations Quickly

When entering durations for your tasks simply use the single letters - m for min, h for hr, d for day, w for week, but mon for month. If default is set for days, you need only type the number, for example 3 for 3days, or 0.5 for half a day.
