How do I show overtime on the Gantt? The task with the overtime only shows regular working times – it is the predecessor to another task. The linked task starts after the working times and not after the overtime which is not shown on the Gantt.
Overtime is a funny thing in Project. It’s basically extra hours done in addition to standard working time. Entering Overtime reduces the duration so it won’t show seperately on the Gantt chart.
Overtime can have many meanings. Let’s assume that we mean overtime the extra hours a resource will work during a certain period compared to a standard working day.
This involves the calendar option, where the standard day for a resource is extended; e.g. with a working slot from 18:00 tot 23:00.
When doing this the activity will take place during the extended day-hours. In order to show this in the gantt-chart you have to change the timescale on the Gantt-chart view to display the hours.
