Going over allocated time for a task

L

Lorin

I have a task that was estimated to take 10 hours to complete. How do I note
that the task has taken 15 hours so far and is still only 80% complete?

% Complete refers strictly to duration passed compared to duration needed.
80% Complete after 15 hours duration means the total duration of the task is
now expected to be 22.5 hours (15/22.5 = 0.8). Enter Actual Duration = 15
hr, Remaining Duration = 7.5hr. Project will fill-in the 80% for you so no
other entries required.

Make sure you're talking duration and not work.
