- The task has a Due Date of 10/11/2012
- The task has a Duration of 9.0 days and Work of 72 hours.
- The task has a Richard will assign a resource to the existing task
- The Work per resource will increase, but Due Date and Duration will remain the same.
-

-
Richard clicks the Recalculate button on the Task Master toolbar.
The task now shows Work updated to reflect the work of both JeffDesign and QA One. Due Date and Duration remain constant.
