Hours of Work, Duration, and Resource Availability
Hours of Work is driven by Duration and the Resource Availability.
Total Work (hours) = Duration (days) * Resource Availability (hours/day)
- If Mary's task is 2 days in duration and her availability is 5 hrs/day, Total Work = 10 hrs.
- If the same task is assigned to Sue and her availability = 2 hrs/day, the Total Work = 4 hrs.
