Enter or change a task duration

When you initially create a new task, Project 2007 gives the task an estimated duration of one day. You can modify the estimated task duration to reflect the actual amount of time that the task requires. You can modify your estimate at a later time; however, it is best practice to hone your estimation skills so that your initial project plans are realistic for your organization.

Tip: Changing the task duration is one method that you can use to help meet your finish date, resolve any resource overallocations, cut costs, increase the scope, or increase the quality.

Increase the accuracy of your estimates

To increase the accuracy of your estimates for task duration, use your own past experience and the past experiences of others who have done something similar in previous projects. Ask questions such as:

• How long did the task take?

• What were some of the challenges you encountered?

• What would you do differently if you had to do it over again?

Note any differences between the new task and similar tasks done in the past, and take into account those differences when you estimate a task's duration.

Include the following considerations as you estimate task durations:

• Durations can depend on the experience of the resource who performs the task. A highly experienced resource can sometimes complete certain tasks more quickly than a less experienced resource.

• Estimates should be revisited when the work starts. You will know more about the tasks at that point.

You can also derive your estimates by comparing optimistic, pessimistic, and expected durations. This is sometimes called a PERT analysis.

Enter or change task duration

1. If the task you are entering the duration for is not currently listed in the project plan, add the task to your task list. If you are entering or changing the duration for an existing task, skip this step.

   How do I add a new task?

   1. On the View menu, click Gantt Chart.

   2. In the Task Name field, type a task name at the end of the task list.

      You can insert a task between existing tasks by selecting the row below where you want a new task to appear. On the Insert menu, click New Task and then type the task name in the inserted row. The task IDs are automatically renumbered after you insert a task.

2. In the Duration column for the task, type the duration that you want.

   You can enter durations in minutes (m), hours (h), days (d), weeks (w), or months (mo).

3. If the new duration is an estimate, type a question mark after it.

4. Press ENTER.

Tip: To change the one-day default value, on the Tools menu, click Options and then click the Schedule tab. Clear the New tasks have estimated durations check box.

Tip: To express the durations of new tasks in units other than days, on the Tools menu, click Options and then click the Schedule tab. In the Duration is entered in box, select a duration unit.

Notes: 

• When you change a task's duration to meet a specific target, be sure that the change still reflects realistic time requirements for the task. Be sure to also check and adjust the corresponding amount of work that is assigned, as necessary.

• Some projects may not use estimated durations. If your project does not use estimated durations and you type a question mark in the Duration column for a task, the value is not considered an estimation. To allow estimations in your project, on the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the Schedule tab. Select the Show that tasks have estimated durations check box.

• If you are changing a duration and the new duration uses a different unit from the existing duration, you must first do the calculation separately and then enter the new value. There is no automatic conversion. For example, if the current duration for a task is 1 day, and you want to change the duration to reflect hours instead of days, you must first calculate the number of working hours in a day on your own and then enter the new value in hours.

• Summary tasks (sometimes called "hammock tasks") cannot be edited directly. To change a summary task, change the subtasks that make up the summary task.

Create a UML deployment diagram

In a deployment diagram, a node can represent a generic type or a specific instance.

Place components and object instances within a node instance to indicate that the components and objects reside on the node.

Dependencies connect components, sometimes through interfaces. You can use a stereotype to indicate the precise dependency.

1. On the File menu, point to New, point to Software, and then click UML Model Diagram.

2. In the tree view, right-click a package or subsystem in which you want to include the deployment diagram, point to New, and then click Deployment Diagram.

   A blank page appears, and the UML Deployment stencil becomes the top-most stencil. The workspace displays 'Deployment' as a watermark. An icon representing the diagram is added to the tree view.

   Note: If the tree view isn't visible, point to View on the UML menu, and then click Model Explorer.

3. Drag a Node shape onto the drawing page. Drag Component and Object shapes into the node. Drag a selection handle on the node to resize it.

   Contain elements within a node in a deployment diagram

   1. In a deployment diagram, drag a Node or Node Instance shape from the UML Deployment stencil onto the drawing page.

   2. Double-click the node to add a name, attributes, operations and other property values.

   3. Drag a corner selection handle to resize the node so it can accommodate the elements you want it to contain.

   4. Drag Component, Component Instance, and Object shapes on top of the Node shape, and then connect the shapes with dependency relationships where appropriate.

   5. Do one of the following:

      • Double-click each node. In the UML Node Properties dialog box, click Components. Under Choose the components which are deployed by this node, select the appropriate components, and then click OK.

      • Double-click each component. In the UML Component Properties dialog box, click Nodes. Under Choose the nodes which deploy this component, select the appropriate nodes, and then click OK.

        Note: Do not group a node and the shapes it contains. If you need to move a node and the elements within it, drag a selection rectangle around the node to select all the shapes, and then drag them to the position you want.

4. Repeat step 3 until you have all the nodes you need.

5. Where appropriate, drag an Interface shape onto the drawing page and glue the endpoint without the circle to a component shape.

   Add an interface to a class, component, or other element

   1. In a static structurecomponent, or deployment diagram, drag the lollipop Interface shape onto the drawing page.

   2. Glue the endpoint without the circle to a connection point on the class component, or other element.

   3. Double-click the Interface shape to add a name, operations, and other property values.

      tiplist

      You can also represent an interface with a rectangular Interface shape that resembles a class. Use this shape when you want to display a list of the interface operations.

      To change the type of shape that displays for an interface, right-click the Interface shape and click Show as Class-like Interface or Show as Lollipop Interface.

6. Use Communicates shapes to indicate the relationships between nodes.

   Indicate a communication association between nodes in a deployment diagram

   1. In a deployment diagram, drag a Communicates shape from the UML Deployment stencil onto the drawing page.

   2. Glue one endpoint of the Communicates shape to a connection point on the first node.

   3. Glue the other endpoint of the Communicates shape to a connection point on the second node.

   4. Double-click the Communicates shape to add a name and other property values to the element and to its ends.

7. Use Dependency shapes to indicate the relationships between components and objects, and between components and other components' interfaces.

   Indicate a dependency relationship between UML elements

   1. Drag a Dependency shape from the UML Static Structure, UML Deployment, or UML Component stencil onto the drawing page and place it near the elements you want to relate.

   2. Glue the endpoint with an arrowhead to a connection point on the element the other element depends on. Glue the endpoint without an arrowhead to a connection point on the element that depends on the other element.

   3. Double-click the dependency to add a name, stereotype, and other properties.

      Tip: If you want to indicate a trace, refinement, usage, or binding dependency, you can use the Trace, Refinement, Usage, or Binding shapes from the UML Static Structure stencil.

8. Double-click any shape to open its UML Properties dialog box where you can add a name, attributes, operations, and other properties.

9. Save the diagram.

VARPA function

Calculates variance based on the entire population. In addition to numbers, text and logical values such as TRUE and FALSE are included in the calculation.

Syntax

VARPA(value1,value2,...)

Value1,value2,...     are 1 to 30 value arguments corresponding to a population.

Remarks

• VARPA assumes that its arguments are the entire population. If your data represents a sample of the population, you must compute the variance using VARA.

• Arguments that contain TRUE evaluate as 1; arguments that contain text or FALSE evaluate as 0 (zero). If the calculation must not include text or logical values, use VARP instead.

• The equation for VARPA is :

  

Example

Suppose all 10 tools stamped from the same machine during a production run are collected and measured for breaking strength.

St1	St2	St3	St4	St5	St6	St7	St8	St9	St10	Formula	Description (Result)
1345	1301	1368	1322	1310	1370	1318	1350	1303	1299	=VARPA([St1], [St2], [St3], [St4], [St5], [St6], [St7], [St8], [St9], [St10])	Variance of breaking strengths for all the tools, assuming that only 10 tools are produced (678.84)
