I've just purchased OP and am working through a couple of projects and learning the software. What is the best way to assign time values to tasks in the following situation?
The task is to review a document. The review it self will take only 30 minutes, but when it is assigned to the person, they are told that they have a day to review it. I am confused, because if I say 30 minutes, then the project baseline will be off before the project starts. On the other hand, if I say 1 day, then that particular resource is tied up for an entire day (which is obviously not the case, since the task only takes 30 actual minutes).
Thanks for your input.
