What is Fixed Duration effort on & off

RE: Fixed Duration effort

Hi Farouk

Project by default uses a feature called Effort Driven Scheduling.

You can turn this feature off by double clicking on a task and going to the advanced tab. From here you can set the task type to fixed duration and remove the tick from effort driven. This then enables you to assign resources to the task without Project adjusting the duration of your task.

Do let us know if you have any further questions.

Kind regards,

Andrew
