Project managers struggle to accurately track and report task duration in Microsoft Project when tasks don't align with standard calendar days

Project managers using Microsoft Project face friction when tasks span partial days, non-standard work schedules, or need granular time tracking beyond daily increments. Current solutions force workarounds or manual calculations, leading to inaccurate project timelines, reporting delays, and difficulty communicating realistic schedules to stakeholders. The tool's rigid day-based measurement system doesn't accommodate modern work patterns like hourly billing, sprint-based development, or shift work.
