Example

The following example shows a task can be delayed by two days, if the work day is eight hours (2 days x 8 hours/day x 60 minutes/hour x 10 tenths/minute = 9600 tenths). The actual slack time available in this case is the same as the total slack.

<Task>
   . . .
   <FreeSlack>9600</FreeSlack>
   <TotalSlack>9600</TotalSlack>
   . . .
</Task>
