Capture the Duration Data

Document duration estimates in workdays to use in schedule development. Duration estimates are the principal estimates used by software tools for project management, and a schedule database is a standard place to store them.

Revise duration estimates as needed to resolve timing problems during the project through schedule control.

Revalidate estimates periodically during project reviews, particularly for lengthy projects.
