Question

Durations and Resource Planner

I am noticing that it seems that if we have a 0 duration for a task (needs to be done the same day) that the planned hours for the work are not showing up in the resource planner for the person assigned to them. Have you all noticed this before? Do you know what is going on? Lauren McCollim, M.B.A, PMP Advertising Project Manager Pensacola Christian College

This happens to us as well, but we assumed it was just something we needed to work around (e.g. using .5 day durations). If this in fact a bug that would be GREAT so we can go back to having 0 day duration tasks!! LAURA O'MALLEY

Hi Lauren, David This is actually working as designed since Resource Planner uses duration to calculate the hours per period information. We take the hour value and use the duration as a denominator and as a result skip 0 duration items. If the duration is anything greater than 0, the hours will appear there.

Hi @Lauren McCollim - that looks like bug to me. I can see the task in the Team Working On calendar if it has 0 duration, but the hours show as 0 even though they are set as 8. Once the task as a duration greater than 0 then its planned hours show up. Please log this with Support and let me know the number and I'll do the same and link to it. Regards, David. David Cornwell
