Working times

If i have started a programme and it was based on 5 days working week how can i make some weekends count as the working time

RE: Working times

Hi James

Thanks for your question

The crucial question is are all or only some of your resources going to work on these selected weekends?

If all, then I suggest selecting the weekends in question on the project default calendar and setting them to working time.

If only a specific group of resources will be working then I suggest you create a base calendar for those resources and set the weekends to working.

If only a few individual resources are to work on these days then it would be best to make the cahnges in the individual resource calendars.

Hope this helps

Regards

Stephen

MS Project tip:

Keep constraining dates to a minimum

As far as possible avoid fixing the dates of your tasks. For example try to steer of clear dragging task bars in the Gantt chart to move them on the timeline or entering dates directly into the Start / Finish fields.

Date constraints such as these limit Microsoft Project's ability to automatically adjust your project whenever you add, remove or modify the duration of your tasks. Instead use the logic in your task dependencies that link your tasks to enable Project to calculate the start and finish dates for you.
