Thanks for asking and thanks for watching my TH-cam videos! Yes, there is a reason for changing the Task Type setting on tasks. The Task Type setting fixes or "locks" one of the three variables in the Duration Equation, which are Units, Work, and Duration. The purpose of the Task Type setting is to "lock" one of those three numbers so that Microsoft Project will not change that number. For example, many of my clients use Fixed Duration tasks because they do not want Microsoft Project to change the Duration. Several of my clients use Fixed Work because they do not want Microsoft Project to change the Work. By the way, for all three Task Types, the PM is always allowed to change the "locked" number; it simply prevents Microsoft Project from changing that number. Hope this helps.
Excellent as always. Thanks Dale!!
