Task Types

In Microsoft Project, there are three different task types: fixed units, fixed work, and fixed duration. According to Microsoft Project documentation, the task type determines how units, duration, and work interact as defined in the table that follows.

In SuiteProjects Pro, all tasks behave like Microsoft Project fixed units tasks. If you change the units, that is, the percentage of time a resource is assigned, SuiteProjects Pro recalculates the duration. While duration cannot be directly changed in SuiteProjects Pro, if you have an internal setting enabled, you can input planned hours for each user assigned to a task in addition to the percentage of time. This is similar to the adjustments that can be made to a resource's work hours in the Microsoft Project resource usage view.
