(1) Be able to manually enter the hours which were worked on a particular task as the hours are completed, and get an accurate picture of how long (how many hours) a task took.
You can use the task usage view, I prefer to use the Gantt view in the top pane and the task usage view in the bottom pane.
If you right click in the right hand side of the task usage view you can change the information to "work" and "actual work".
Expand the timescale to the relevent extent and you can manually put the hours in.
If you make the task "Fixed Work" than the duration will change accordingly.
(2) I ideally I would like to have another column in which I stated the anticipated time a task was expected to take and then subtract the time taken from the anticipated time and get an idea as to the over or under on the task.
The baseline lends itself to this, if you save a baseline it will save the work and duration as well as start, finish and cost.
The column you will need will be "Duration variance", the difference between baseline and current planned or actual.
Hope this helps,
Will
