Everyone has a dream. But sometimes there’s a gap between where we are and where we want to be. True, there are some people who can bridge that gap easily, on their own, but all of us need a little help at some point. A little boost. An accountability partner. A Snooze Squad.

In this focused episode, we tackle two terms that are often confused but are critical to successful project planning and scheduling: effort and duration. Understanding the difference between these concepts is a key requirement for the APM Project Fundamentals Qualification (PFQ).
Join us as we explore:
- Effort: What it is, how it's measured, and why it represents the true amount of work needed to complete a task.
- Duration: What it means, how it's calculated, and why it's a measure of elapsed time, not just work.
- The Critical Relationship: We’ll explain how factors like resource availability, dependencies, and calendar days affect a task's duration, even if the effort remains constant.
- Real-world Examples: We'll use simple, practical scenarios to illustrate how these two concepts interact and why getting them right is essential for creating a realistic project schedule.
By the end of this microlesson, you'll have a crystal-clear understanding of the difference between effort and duration, giving you a strong foundation for your APM PFQ studies and for any project you manage.
