Let’s explore taskdurations with an example .
Let’s say a plan has a project calendar with working time defined as 8 A.M. through 5 P.M. with one hour off for lunch breaks Monday through Friday, leaving nonworking time defined as evenings (after 5 P.M.) and weekends .
If you estimate that a task will take 16 hours of working time, you could enter its duration as “2d” to schedule work over two eighthour workdays .You should then expect that starting the task at 8 A .M .on a Friday means that it will not be completed until 5 P .M .on the following Monday .
No work would be scheduled over the weekend because Saturday and Sunday have been defined as nonworking time .
