A question for native speakers of #English:

In German, when estimating (or charging for) the time a certain business project takes, we often use the units "Personenstunde" (PS, "person hour") and especially "Personentag" (PT, "person day"). This differs from calendar days in that you can do 5 PT of work in one day if five people are working on it.

Is there an equivalent term in English? Does it have an acronym? Is the gendered "man-day" still the default?

@scy the closest I think is man-hours. We generally don't do it by day, I think?

@draeath @scy man-day is what I've always seen. Time estimations being labeled MD's.

@loke @draeath @scy yes, MD (man-days) is used, at least in the business project management applications I encountered so far
