Man hours
Will project calculate man hours based on project timeline?

Innpower77 -- If you assign resources to tasks, then yes. You will need to initially enter a Duration value for each task and you will need to enter a Units value for each resource that you assign to the task. The Units value is a percentage number that indicates whether the resource will work full time on the task (Units value of 100%) or part-time on the task (Units value less than 100%). When you assign a resource to a task with a Duration value entered for the task and a Units value for the resource, Microsoft Project will calculate the Work value. The Work value represents the man hours for that task. Hope this helps.
