Ok that title sucks.

Here is what I am trying to do. I have developers that work 8 an hour day, but they don't code for 8 hours in a day. So I am trying to get the timeline to represent a 6.5 hr day. I go into project options and set hours per day at 6.5 and hours per week as 32.5. However, if I put in a task of 8 hours in it still claims that the developer is finishing the task in one day. The expected result would be that they would finish it the next day.

How should I be doing this?



I want to avoid setting the developer at (6.5/8) 81.25% because then i have to adjust that everyplace.

If you don't want to change the Resource's max units - then you'll need to change the developers calendars to only allow them to work 6.5 hours per day. If you then assign the resource 8 hours of work, the task finish date will change.
Changing this in Project Options is not the answer.

Thanks that worked for me.

Great. Glad to know changing the resource's calendar got you what you needed. Thanks for the feedback.
