RE: Duration

Hi Lisa

Thank you for your question.

One way to find a good percentage to allow for holidays and illness would be to look back over previous projects and review what has happened in the past. Alternatively your organisation may have a figure that can be used for planning purposes. Either way it's good to include the method used in your project documentation to clarify how the project duration was derived.

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

Kind regards,
Andrew

Microsoft Office tip:

Using the Quick Access Toolbar in Office 2010

The Quick Access Toolbar is included in virtually every Office product, including 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.
