How to Use the Effort-Driven Scheduling Method

Effort-driven scheduling in ConceptDraw PROJECT
The idea of Effort-driven scheduling in project management is that each project task can be scheduled and assumed basing to the amount of the available work hours. Effort-driven scheduling is used as the default method of project scheduling in ConceptDraw PROJECT. This means that task duration, units, and work amount for individual assignment depends on the entire work, required for a given task. Whether you add or remove resources, the total work amount still the same, while ConceptDraw PROJECT regulates the duration of task or units assigned for the given resources.
