What is the difference between a work schedule and a project, and when should I use each?
Work schedules are typically used for recurring shifts, while projects are more suited for unique tasks or events.
Updated over a year agoA work schedule is typically used for ongoing, regular shifts that follow a predictable pattern, such as weekly shifts. This makes it easier to plan on a weekly basis and manage consistent hours across teams or departments.
On the other hand, a project is better suited for one-off or time-bound activities that require special tracking or specific resources. Projects can be ideal for events, temporary assignments, or tasks that don't follow a regular schedule.
So, choose a work schedule if you need recurring shifts or regular staffing. Choose a project if you’re managing a distinct task with a clear end date or custom resource needs.
