Hi All
I am playing around with MS Project having taken a break. I've set up a
basic test schedule with 5 tasks, selected task type duration, unselected
effort driven.
I've including 3 additional fields in my basic gant view - work, actual work
and % complete. I have tasks of a fixed duration e.g. I have a 4 hour task
that will take a 2 day duration.
When I populate the actual work field the % complete changes and I'd expect
this. However, what if I have a task with a duration of 2 days, 5 hours per
day but the resource completes the task on day 2 in 3 hours. This would mean
that the planned hours were 10 hours, the actuals were 8 and the % complete
is 100% leaving 2 hours as an underspend/time saved.
Is there a method to model this scenario?
Many thanks to everyone who takes the time to read & respond.
Cheers, H
