Project Intro Intermediate course

Task Effort v. Duration

How should i calcuate and assign task effort/duration for a task, for example, task effort of 3 days, assigned to a person who only works one day a week, this would make the task duration 21 days? Please advise. Thanks.

RE: Task Effort v. Duration

Hi Kerry

Thanks for your question. In the case you mention I suggest you use the Resource Usage Sheet view and modify the work amounts for the task assigned to your resource to more accurately reflect what will take place. This should result in a task spanning three weeks but with only one day's work (for example) taking place each week.

If you have further questions about this example or other Project related topics please let us know!

Kind regards,

Andrew
