Managing tasks

In 

, the project manager can save a set of Tasks as a template and make the template available to others (see Managing-task-templates). Creating Tasks for a Project in 

 is a two-step process. The first step is to add one or more Tasks; the second step is to define the Tasks. Any user who has Edit permission for a Project can create a Task for that Project. Only the user who creates a Project Task can request resources for that Task.
Before requesting resources, you can assign hours for each task. The time allocated to each task is then added to display the planned and updated hours. Original Planned Hours are the estimated number of hours for all labor that you plan initially. Updated Planned Hours are the updated hours that you specify based on new labor estimates. If no updated hours have been entered for a task, the system uses that task's Original Planned Hours as Updated Planned Hours. The Task Details window displays a total of planned and updated hours as Total Original Plan Hours and Total Updated Plan Hours.
