person-hours

In the Projects application, work is analyzed based on person-hours, the number of hours of work it takes to complete an action. This amount is derived from the Hours field in the Action Items (activity_log) table. Person-hours take into account the duration of an action, and the number of people working on the action. For example, if the action's Duration is two days, and two people will be working on this action for eight-hour days, then the person-hours for this action is 32 hours. The S-Curve analysis uses person-hours in its calculations for work, so it is important to complete the Hours field if you are generating S-Curve charts.
