Task Type

Task types in project management determine how work, duration, and units are calculated. There are three main task types: fixed units where duration changes if work or units change; fixed duration where work or units change if the other changes; and fixed work where units or duration change if the other changes. The default task type for a project can be set globally, and individual tasks can have their type set independently as needed.
