Let’s say our contract with the customer says that the project should start on 2021-07-10 and should be finished in 16 months. Set the Earliest Start
and the Duration
fields based on that.
Did you set the values correctly?
The start date is in the first half of July, 2021, and therefore, it would be 2021-7. The duration is 16 months, and our unit of duration is half-months, and therefore, you need to enter 32.
This duration works for now, but later on, when we break down the project into its building elements, the duration will be calculated automatically, and the project won’t even have the duration
field anymore.
