Tracking unit progress on ms project
I am trying to figure out how to get MSP to measure my work correctly. Example: I have 10 days to install 10,000 feet of cable. On day one I install 2500 feet and put my progress in as 25%. The probl...
Sorry but that's not how the progress line on the Gantt bar works. Percent complete is a duration based parameter so if you enter 25% for a 10 day task, Project will show 2.5 days of progress. Agreed, not a very useful metric.
Here's what you can do. Show the Actual Duration field and the Physical % Complete fields, hide the Percent Complete field. Then you can enter the number of days and whatever percentage of work you feel is complete.
Hope this helps.
