Step 9: Connecting Tasks with Dependency Lines We create a block of time that covers the 26th and 27th, and then replace that lost time with overtime hours earlier in the week. We know we want to take Thanksgiving and the following Friday off, but we can also predict that this week will be crunch mode for the team.
To add extra hours, double-click and drag to create a blue box which represents available hours apart from the normal working hours. To quickly remove working time from the schedule, you can Shift-drag, creating a red box that marks normal working time as unavailable. Use the arrows bracketing the current month to navigate to November, then click on the week of Thanksgiving (the 26th) to access the exceptions calendar for that week. We can add that to our schedule right now. One that we know is in the future for our project is the upcoming Thanksgiving. Here you can change the work hours for a specific week, to account for exceptions such as holidays or overtime. Still in calendar view, choose Extra & Off Hours from the toggle below the resource list.
