Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

durations will come from quantities becasue duration = (quantity)(installation rate)/# of men to use

you have to know how much of something you have to install before know how long it will take

there are installation rates here at planning planet up top 9th tab from the left

So build it from the bottom of the ground up.

1. create your a wbs work break down structer

2. create you major activities

3. link activities together

4. assign durations

5. calculate the schedule  

6. Review and revise
