Defining and maintaining development activity duration units

A development activity duration unit is used to express how long a session lasts (for example Days, Weeks Months, Years, and so on). The administrator specifies the actual number on the activity or session and selects the duration. For example, 2 Weeks. Duration units are also used when defining certain types of standard costs.
