Changing the duration of an open task
Project managers can change the duration for an open task. The values in the Start Date and Due Date column for that task are recalculated by the system. The dates for the other open tasks, do not change.
For this example, you have two tasks:
-
Task 1 has a duration of 5 days.
-
Task 2 has a duration of 3 days.
Suppose you change the duration of Task 1 from 5 to 10. The Start Date and Due Date for the task are adjusted to reflect the new duration value of 10.
The Start Date and the Due Date for Task 2 do not change until after you click .
To permanently save these changes to the database, you must click .
