I have an issue with duration and work of tasks. I hope someone can help.
I am a supplier company working with an external client. I need to create a template for projects. Our project should display the waiting time for a supplier to respond, and the time it takes for me to complete tasks. We need this for costing. I have a project with the following tasks:
Task A – 20 days
Task B – 15 days
Task C – 10 days
Each of these tasks starts consequently and has a Resource A assigned to it. Task A only takes 1 hour of my time to complete. However I have to wait the remaining time (20 days minus 1 hour) from a Client to respond and complete Task A. Similar Task B only takes 4 hours of my time and Task C only takes 5 hours, and I have to wait 15 days minus 4 hours for Task B to be completed and 10 days minus 5 hours for Task C to be completed.
I’ve tried to create it by displaying Task A as 1 hour, Task B – 4 hours, Task C – 5 hours, and then use lag time. However it creates such a mess when adapting a template to a particular project.
Please help and advise what I shall do.
