Hi,
As a company that often does many simultaneous projects, we like to
look at an typical example step in a project like this:
Allocated time = 8 hours (one day)
Actual billing time = 2 hours
This represents a standard scenario. A system might run for a day, and
require a technician to be present. But since we can start a process
and just let it run, we can work on other jobs, and would like to be
able to implement "billable time" in the project.
I have tried setting up "man hours" as a resource, but it just doesn't
seem to work very well having to define a task as having a resource
being a percentage of the task,
Ideally how I'd like to enter a task is:
Start Date: 13/11/06
End Date: 20/11/06
Duration: 6 hours
Or something similar. But Project seems to automatically adjust the end
date or the duration, based on a change to the other. Any
recommendations appreciated.
