RTC, Scrum and tasks : working hours in a day
Dear Forum,
I need to change the number of working hours in one day in RTC.
Today, estimating 8 hours for a task item automatically changes the estimation to 1 day.
But each member of my scrum considers that his effective working time is 5 hours a day (because of meetings, of unplanned tasks, of other impediments etc ...).
So I have investigated in RTC in order to find a solution to change the correspondance between hours and day : I have found something : in the work environment tab, for a given user, we can change the worday length ; but changing this workday length has no impact when estimating a task : "8 hours" is still changed into one day.
Do you know how to change the correspondance hours/days in RTC so that when estimating a task, 5 hours is changed in 1 day?
Thanks a lot for your precious support,
Best Regards,
Mikal Donini.

You can specify the work time per day for project-wide settings of the work environment in the process spec for the project.
Project Configuration > Configuration Data > Planning > Work Environment
The work environment setting in the User Editor is used to specify different settings per User.

Sharoon's suggestion works perfectly. I created a task of 10 hours and it changed to "1d 2h". I then changed the Work Time per Day in the Planning -> Work Environment section of the Process Configuration, saved it and refreshed the plan. It changed to say "2 d".
This is a Project Area setting so it will affect all teams in the project area.
