Best practice when allocating a period of time to a number of tasks

[jgregs]

Hi there



First post - this forum looks really useful.

Within a summary task, I have 8 tasks that need to be completed within a week. There are no dependencies between them, and two people will be working on them.

I've never planned how long each one takes as they are grouped in to a week's activity on other projects I've worked on. And I don't really care how they're divided between the two resources - I just need them doing in 5 days.

However, I do want to plan at that level of granularity to show the customer exactly what we're doing.

Do I just need to throw in some place holder dates to each task?
