For any task you have to provide either the duration or the work (effort). In this case, the work is 100 days and the duration would be calculated by MSP based on the engineer's resource calendar. If you modify the engineer's availability or increase the number of engineers assigned, the duration would change if the task is an effort driven task. Kiron Saving Changes...
