How to Add Weekends to Microsoft Project

‍

‍

By default, Microsoft Project treats Saturdays and Sundays as non-working days. You can change this by editing the project calendar.

‍

1. Let's start by clicking on the "Project" tab in the ribbon menu at the top of your Microsoft Project window.
2. Now, select "Change Working Time" from the dropdown options. This is where we'll adjust the calendar settings.
3. In the "Change Working Time" dialog box that appears, click on "Create New Calendar..." button.
4. Give your new calendar a descriptive name and click "OK" to continue.
5. Navigate to the "Work Weeks" tab in the dialog box. This is where we'll define which weekend days will become working days.
6. Select the weekend day you want to add in the days list, then choose the "Set day(s) to these specific working times".
7. Now, enter the working hours for your weekend days.
8. Click "OK" to save your changes and return to your project. Your weekends are now officially working days in your project schedule!
