If you use column view (C-c C-x C-c) and enter durations it creates
property drawers in tasks that don't already have them.

There's also a function org-insert-property-drawer.

I've got the following setup:

(setq org-global-properties '(("Effort_ALL" . "0 0:10 0:30 1:00 2:00 3:00 4:00 
5:00 6:00 7:00 8:00")))
(setq org-columns-default-format "%40ITEM(Task) %17Effort(Estimated Effort){:} 
%CLOCKSUM")

and I just C-c C-x C-c on a parent task and use S-right to assign the
effort durations to each task.

HTH,
