Project 2013 Introduction

Project 2013

Lesson 1 – Learning Project Basics

In addition to selecting the working hours, you must also specify the length of the work day and work week. If the work day is longer or shorter than eight hours and/or starts before 8:00 AM, you need to make these adjustments before entering any tasks or the durations for your project will be incorrect. The working times should match the hours per day. The Standard template assumes a default of 8 working hours per day and 40 working hours per week. You can also indicate the number of working days in the month, with 20 days being the default.

You can always edit or enter additional information at another time opening the Change Working Time dialog box and selecting Options in the lower right of the dialog box.
