This topic is for organizations that track time and task progress using separate views.    Not sure if this is for you?

Sometimes the number of hours that the schedule has left for a task doesn’t match up with the amount of time you think you’ll be spending to finish that task. For example, after completing 20 of the 40 scheduled hours for a task, you may feel like you have more than 20 hours of work left to do before the task is finished. By submitting your estimated remaining work to your project manager, you are communicating task progress.

  1. Click Tasks on the Quick Launch.
