Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

When I am managing serious projects I calculate 4 percent completes:

1. The % of the original duration
2. The % of deliverables completed
3. The % of cost expended
4. The % of hours of labour or mobile equipment consumed

The comparison of the four percentage completes is very useful.

I normally use the P3 % complete for the % of duration, unlink % Complete and Remaining Duration and turn off all the Autocost Rules, I may enter the recorded cost and hours consumed and estimated to complete.

I use global changes to calculate the other three in custom data items.

There is an article titles The Practical Application of Earned Value which is on my web site which outlines some of these techniques.
