Edit Task Duration

Duration is the length of time, in business days, a task requires from conception to completion, including the start and finish dates. There are several ways you can change task duration. You can edit it directly on the desired position on the timescale in a spreadsheet view, such as the Gantt view, by using your mouse to click and drag the left or right side of the Gantt bar to the desired position on the timescale. You can also use the General tab on the Task Properties dialog box to edit task duration.

Note: For fixed-duration tasks, Open Workbench automatically calculates the task’s finish date. If the task is fixed and you change the finish date, the duration is automatically calculated.
