Workfront has (at least) three durations and hours for each task. Planned is what the project owner (or someone with permissions) typed into the task list. For duration and dates, they'll enter two of start, duration and end and the third will be calculated. For effort they should just type it in. Actual is usually gathered through timesheets, but can be edited directly by the project owner Projected is what you are talking about - if Task B was only waiting for task A, and Task A finishes early, Task B should be projected to both start and end early with the same duration. A lot of views like calendars and gantt charts etc give you the option to choose either (or both) planned / projected. By comparing planned to projected, you can both track the original plan and reality at the same time. Barry Buchanan - WMA Work Management Australia
