Percent_complete not updating correctly on the project.

[Ram117]

Experts,

I am having a question on the way percent_complete value is getting populated on pm_project records.

We have the project, epics, user story, sprint relation setup as below . I  need some clarification on how the parent relationship to be maintained inorder to have the project reflect the percent_complete as and when user stories are getting marked as complete.

Screenshot 1:

Project's percent_complete is not updated as and when user stories are getting completed.

screenshot 2:

EPICs percent_complete is not getting updated as and when user stories are updated as completed. Since user stories parent is 'Sprint', the sprint's percent_complete is getting updated when user stories are marked as complete.

Screenshot 3:

user story project / top task is referencing the project (pm_project) record. Parent is referencing the SPRINT record.

Now what I am seeing is the , project's percent_complete value is getting updated only when an EPIC's state is completed. EPIC's percemt_complete is updated only when the state of the epic record is marked as complete, else it shows as 0. 

Please guide on how I should set up the references so the project record's percent_complete value is updated based on the user stories.

thx

ram.

The Percent Complete is calculated based on the completion of the project_task related to the projects.

The business rule "Update parent percent complete" does the calculation whenever the project_task are updated.

So what you are asking for is not available out of the box.

Kindly mark helpful/correct if this resolved your query.

Thank you for the input @Vinayak Belgaonkar 

I think that statement is not so true.

'Update parent percent complete' runs on planned_task .Basically epic and user stories are extended from planned_task. As I mentioned in my question, I see the percent_complete changes on the project whenever epics state changes to complete.

I wanted to take inputs from you guys to see if updating user stories  to complete can also be used to track percent_complete on project using oob way...
