Project percentage calculation

[carlos_santos]

Is it possible to calculate the overall project progress with a weightage assigned to the individual tasks?

I do not feel that the tasks duration is always a meaningful way.

Thanks

Hello,

That should be possible. However, to enable this you would be inheriting some technical debt. I have had to do something similar in the past to override baseline calculations. If you do this, you want to make sure that you run those calculations after existing calculations. In this example, allow the baseline functionality to calculate that percentage. Then, after that runs, run your custom calculation. The one benefit is that you are allowing those baseline objects to be updated on upgrade. Additionally, you will be able to easily remove your customizations and return to baseline. The downside? Additionally, processing that may affect performance.

Could it be simple applying the weightage only to specific project templates? Some will follow the standard calculations using tasks' length and one with fixed values not depending on dates.
