On what basis you decide that an activity should be defined as task based or resource based?

Duration type and the type of activity determines the way calculations are controlled in the system. How will you decide the duration type?

Task based activity is used when you require to load multiple resources working together for the activity and these resources use the activity calendar.
Resource based activity is used when u need to have multiple resources loaded for the activity which uses separate resource calendars and also these resources work independently and doesn't depend on the activity calendar.

Thank you Anisuddin for your valuble question.
The base at which an activity is to be defined as a task dependent activity ,is the case when the activity does not need any resource to be assigned to it or the resources that need to be assigned to it only use the activity calendar to define the activity dates and duration.
On the other hand an activity can be defined as a resource dependent ,if the resources calendars govern the definition of both dates and the duration of the activity.
Thank you Best regards

As a Manager, you should be able enough to understand the processes being done under your command and how much time it takes by your subordinates to perform the task.

Keeping in view that all employees are not equally talented you need to acertain which task is best to be given as a task to a resource.
