==Effort Verses Versus Duration==
It is important to recognize the difference between effort and duration.
* Effort is defined as the amount of work measured in hours or days required to complete a task.
* Effort can be specified at the task level, or specified when you assign a resource to a task. If you assign multiple resources, the effort will increase but not the duration.
* Duration is defined by the time elapsed between the start and the end of the task.
