We have a 7.5 hour day for all our WF users (115 people in an IT department). We setup a project for each team called a 'Reserve' project (and give it a project status of the same name). In that project we enter a task for each team member and allocate time as required to reduce their availability to work on projects. This works well as you can customise it per person. E.g. the team manager doesn't have much time to work on projects so his allocation in the Reserve project is set to 25 hours per week so his availability per week is only 12.5 hours – hours he can work on projects. For the PMO, we allocate 10 hours a week to each PM for 'admin' time, i.e any time that they aren't working on a project. That way they can't become over allocated with projects. This setup still allows the user to enter actual time and with some good reports you can keep sight of actuals vs planned and adjust allocations as needed. Hope this helps......
