Scheduling Tasks with 10 days of duration but only 1 hour of work

[Tim]

Hi All,

i have a question on how i can setup a task so that it will span over 10
days worth of duration (eg we have a 10 day lead time for change request to
be reviewed. It takes about an hour to raise the change).

I still want to show the duration of 10 days. If i use the work and
duration columns sure it works but if you go into the resource usage view, it
spans the work out in effort over the whole duration. If i want the 1 hour
of work to be done on a particular day, how do i change this?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

Make the task fixed duration
In one of the usage views, write 1h as work in the day you want the work to
halppen, 0 for the other days.
Hope this helps,

I suggest you reconsider your approach, especially since you want the
resource to work on the task as a unit. Once he starts it will take him and
hour to finish and there's a 10 day window during which he needs to get it
done. If he's going to give it his full attention for that one hour, it's a
1 hour duration task. It has a deadline 10 days after he receives it but
that 10 day window is not its duration. Consider for a moment what happens
if he jumps right on it the moment it hits his desk and gets it done an hour
later. If you have set it up as a 10 day duration task with one hour of
work, it's going to sit in limbo for the next 9 days, needlessly delaying
the rest of the project until that 10 days has expired because according to
the project plan, it won't be finished until 10 days after it really has
been finished. Better to model physical reality... a 1-hour duration task
that is able to start any time after XX date and with a completion deadline
of no later than 10 days later.
