These instructions are specific to Microsoft Project 2007. The resulting availability contributes to how Project calculates the start and finish dates for the task and the project. When Project schedules the task, it accounts for the assigned resource's calendar, the task calendar, the project calendar, and the base calendar. The resource calendar adds that Tuesday is a non-working day, and Wednesday through Saturday are 10-hour days.
The task calendar adds that July 4 is a working day.įinally, the resource that will be working on the task has a different working schedule than the rest of your organization. One task in the project takes place in another country, so the July 4 holiday won't apply. The project calendar uses the base calendar as a starting point, but adds that Saturdays are now working days, and Mondays are now non-working days. The base calendar shows the Monday through Friday work week, with July 4 identified as a non-working holiday. The base calendar reflects these working days and hours, as well as company holidays, like July 4 for Independence Day, and December 25 for Christmas.Ī project manager starts a new project that runs from July 1 to July 15, and requires a Tuesday-Saturday work week. Let's say your organization is located in Seattle, and has a typical work week of 8-hour work days, Monday through Friday. These calendars all stack together to frame how work is scheduled on a project.
These unique calendars are particularly helpful when accounting for things like a leave of absence, shift work, or tasks that are completed by equipment that runs throughout nights and weekends. Project, resource, and task calendars use a base calendar as a template, and then are modified to reflect the unique working days and hours for individual projects, resources, or tasks. Important: Using Project with Project Web App? If so, check with your administrator to request changes to base calendars.
