Project Percentage Calculation

[psierra]

Hi all

Can you give me some guidance regarding "How project percetange is calculated",

In mi case, y have a project with 6 project task. 3 of those task are on closed complete status, so its individual percentage is 100%, the other 3 task are on closed omited status, so its individual percentage is 0% ( i supposed it is correct since the task is ommited)

But project, is at 1.13% and i dont found logic on this calculation, since total days of 3 completed tasks are 15 days and total days of 3 omitted tasks are 25 days so in basic calculation i supose project must be at least on 30% more or less. or in a 100% because the other 3 task are omitted ( i asume this as cancelled).

Is it correct?, can you give me a little help on this?

Thanks in advance, best regards

Hi,

Check by using following formula:

Project percentage complete = (Worked Duration / Total Duration)*100

Worked duration = Task duration * (Task %complete/100)

if below are the tasks in a project 

Worked duration for each task can be calculated through below formula

Worked Duration for a Task = Task duration * (%complete/100)

Total Duration  = Sum of Durations of  (T1 + T2 + T3) = 3 + 10 + 4 = 17

Total Worked Duration = Sum of Total Worked Durations of  (T1 + T2 + T3) = 1.5 + 10 + 0 = 11.5

Percent Complete of Project = (Total Worked Duration / Total Duration)*100 ==>  11.5/17 = 67.65 %

Hello,

My project module has setup into 5 phases. Initiation, Planning, Execution, Delivery & Close out. How will you calculate % completed based on these 5 phases. Do I need to allocate certain percentage to each phase or it would be irrelevant based on your overall calculation.

Thanks!
