How do you manage work effort as compared to duration 1

[DaveGeneski]

I like to put start and end dates on each task, thinking about how many days I am giving a resource to complete a task. I although do not know how to input the work effort it will take to complete the task during the duration. Please help as I need to do a resource risk analysis and dont know how to get started.

If you have a single person working full-time, then every 8hrs of work is equivalent to a single day's duration.

However, if you have more than one person working a job, then the hours are doubled, or, if you only have a 1/2 head on the job, then the hours are only 1/2.

Also, if that 1/2 person is working 1/2 time on a different task, then your resource page will show his correct loading.

Thanks thats where I am trying to get. I am not sure where to input the work hours. Could you detail the correct way to input the work hours. Sorry for being novice at this.
