<p>A question for native speakers of <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/English" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>English</span></a>:</p><p>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.</p><p>Is there an equivalent term in English? Does it have an acronym? Is the gendered "man-day" still the default?</p><p><a href="https://chaos.social/tags/business" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>business</span></a> <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/AskFedi" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>AskFedi</span></a></p>
