Elapsed Duration - ed (MS Project)

Elapsed Duration is used to schedule tasks to occur during Working and Non-Working time.

I.e. Elapsed Duration is used for a task that goes round the clock rather than just normal working hours.

 

For e.g. Assume there are two tasks – Pour Plaster and Remove Plaster. If so, there must be a task “Wait to Dry Plaster”. This task will have elapsed duration as the plaster will dry over a range of days, whether they are working or non-working. Thus if the plaster takes 48 Hrs to cure than you can enter it’s duration as “2ed”.

 

Hope this helps.
