Converting Between MS-Project Durations and Hours in Codebeamer
In MS-Project, the task durations can be set to values such as 1 day, 1 week, 1 month. These values mean one workday (8 hours) or one work week (5 days).
For an approximate conversion from the MS-Project durations, such as 1 day, select the duration from the settings in the MS-Project file. These can be found by clicking the > menu inside MS-Project and then clicking Schedule.
The following values can be configured:
Settings | default value | An example |
|---|---|---|
Hours per day | 8 hours | Example: 1.5 days means 12 hours |
Hours per week | 40 hours | Example: 2 weeks means 80 hours |
Days per month | 20 days | Example: 1.5 month means 30 workdays, which means 30*8=240 work hours |
The same values are configurable during MS-Project export, which puts these values into the export file.
 | The Planned Effort and Spent Effortfields are calculated fields in Codebeamer and may change when you update a work item of the imported items. However, the importer willdisable these calculations during import to get the same values calculated by MS Project. If you don't want these fields overwritten by Codebeamer, reconfigure the tracker and disable propagation and calculation for these fields. |
