Lesson 4 – Working with the Critical Path

Project 2013

You can assign overtime work in the Task Form view with the Resource Work format applied. When you assign overtime, you enter the overtime hours in the Ovt. Work field. You do not change the value in the Work column since the total amount of work for the task is the same. By adding overtime, you are telling Microsoft Project that some of the work will be performed outside of the normal working hours on the calendar. Microsoft Project subtracts the overtime work from the total work and shortens the duration of the task to reflect the amount of work to be completed during regular working hours.
