 CASE STUDY

Now we enter the figures about the durations according the screenshot you see beneath these lines.

Please note these peculiarities:

Durations are only declared for the tasks at the lowest level, the so-called "work packages", but not
for the parental ones; Smartsheet then calculates there the durations of the parent tasks, automati-
cally by itself.

Please pay attention to row 18. There the unit must be "e8d", for consecutive "elapsed 8 days".

Duration "0" (zero) means, this is a milestone. But more about milestones later on.
