MULTIPLE CALENDARS AND ACTIVITY DURATION - THE DEVIL IS IN THE DETAILS
- To keep it simple I will use a single team per activity and activity count will be kept at 2.
- Teams do not have special calendars. Team calendar is calculated as an overlap of activity calendar and team resources calendars. The mismatch increases activity successive time.
- Successive time tells you the undivided time span from start to finish of activity
- Available time by calendars exclude no work time.
- Successive time and available time by calendar matters. Unfortunately neither is a value you can get out of the box, a user defined fields and formula calculation is needed.
- In order to manage calendar exceptions you need to show all calendar exceptions in a concise manner. Using graphical methods to see and manage calendar exceptions can be daunting and error prone; it is not an acceptable approach.
- The use of multiple calendars can be a bit complicated and perhaps not well understood.
