Interests: Project Management and MS PROJECT With this approach you will get much more precise estimating! Now suppose that John, and Mary will work on that Task! I will ask them: How many hours do you need? And if I get answer like: Well, we estimate that John will need 16 hours and Mary 40 hours, but she will work only 50% per day on This Task, I will put those values into the Task form:ДЄnd after I click on OK button, I will get:ДЄs you can see, Total work is 56 hours (John 16 + Mary 40), and Duration is 10 days, because Mary will work only 4 hours per day (50%), and that means she will need 10 working days to accomplish this Task. I always do it in Task Form for Particular Resource. One Trick for you! I never put work in a work field in Gantt Chart.

To conclude, if you donвЂ™t know (or donвЂ™t want) estimate your Tasks in Duration, but rather in work, use Fixed work Task Type, but always keep in mind that it can be tricky, because different persons will need different effort according to their knowledge, maturity etc. And since the longest work is 8 hours, Duration will be (according to formula), 1 day! So Paula will work 2/3 of 12 hours which is 8 hours, and Mary will work 1/3 hours which is 4 hours. Duration = Work / Units вЂ“> Duration = 12 hours (8 hours per day) / 100% = 1,5 day!Д«ut what if, for example, Mary is only 50% available? I will change this in the Task Form, and I will get:Дuration is now 3 days! Now what if I add Paula to the same Task with Units = 100%? See below:Дuration is now 1 day! Why? Paula will Work 100% (Units), and Mary 50%. Now letвЂ™s look at the Task Form for Task2:ДЄs you can see, according to Formula, Work = Duration * Units, e.g. Notice that Duration is Calculated, and that is why It has question mark. Now I will add some Resources to my Project:ДЄs you can see they are all 100% available (for simplicity purposed only). That is because I do not have Units (I didnвЂ™t assign Resources).Д«e careful! For example, for Task4 I put 32 hours, no matter who will do it! But what if you can choose between Senior and Junior? If Senior will need 32 hours, maybe Junior will need 80 hours! So, once again this is not about specific Resource! When I put those values in my Project IвЂ™ll get:ДЄs you can see, Duration is Estimated for 1 day, no matter how many hours do I need for specific Task. LetвЂ™s say that for Task 1 I will need 8 hours, for Task 2 I will need 12 hours, for Task 3 I will need 16 hours, and for Task 4 I will need 32 hours. Now I am going to add new Column вЂ“ W ork, and some Tasks to my Project: So, new Tasks are going to be Fixed Work. When you are estimating in hours, that means that Task Type is Fixed work! It doesnвЂ™t have to, but itвЂ™s logical!ДЇirst I will create new Project, and I will set it up, so all new Tasks will be Fixed Work:

We donвЂ™t know Duration, but how many hours are needed to complete our Tasks! How to do it with MS PROJECT?вЂќДЇirst, remember the Magic Formula: Work = Duration * Units! If you want to learn more about it, I wrote Blog Post about it, and IвЂ™m not going to repeat it here. IвЂ™ve got a lot of questions like this one: вЂњ Hi, you have a lot of examples with estimating Durations! But we are estimate in hours.
