I am new to MS project and need to set up a plan with different resources.

One thing I am aware of is that we have experienced programmers and very junior programmers. The more junior ones tend to be given more time for a task, whilst the more experienced ones need less time.

So e.g. the junior worker will be expected to work efficiently 4 hours, the more experienced ones 7 hours.

However in other tasks, e.g. when writing technical concepts, everybody is usually regarded "equal", I.e. expected to work effectively 7 hours a day.

What is the best way to model this in MS project?

I would just enter the work estimates for each resource as you assignment them to the task. Project will then calculate the duration of the task based upon the Work/Units.

For the junior programmer, because there is more work (effort) required to produce a product - it will take more time (duration) to complete the task.
