How can i create a DOuble shift i.e. 2 X 10 hrs shift calendar and its benefit in terms of duration to be reflected in my schedule.

One way i think is to physically calculate the Units per time period for single shift and then multiply by a factor of 2 ,and then input in the resource table, so that the reflection is very close .

am i right in doing this ???? or is there a simlified way of doing it?

    if you make a new calendar for each special resources then you can define working hours based on 1 shift or 2 shifts or 3 shifts

    How about MS Project and P3? In both software you can develop the schedule using CPM. Later if you prefer you can swift to Bar Chart.

    It is not enough to define which resource will work in what shift. Assigning resources to activity you don’t know when this activity will be performed before scheduling/levelling your project. Assigning resources with wrong calendars you may cause unnessessary delays.
    So the software shall simulate project performance without preliminary knowledge of the time (shifts) when activities will be performed assigning resources with necessary calendars when activity start day will become clear and changing assigned resources when one shift finishes and the next shift starts.
    So the task is much more complicated than you think.
