This function is important for measuring progress of work but unfortunatly is not performed well in P3e.It will also avoid breaking down activities to a multitude of corresponding tasks and it will give as much as possible a realistic progress % complete that Site Construction could not measure for one general activity.
In past years, we were using excel sheet to calculate the percentage of each broken down activities related to a certain task, then get the required % complete and insert it in P3. As an example, in a construction schedule, concrete work or even each structural work like slab, column, etc. is broken down into Placement of Shutter, Reinforcement and Cast-in-Situ.
In P3e, we can add for each concrete activity the 3 mentioned steps and give them weight factors. The issue is that when we do that, update the steps with actual %, put a start date to the related activity and run it, I noticed the following:
1- Neither physical nor duration % are being calculated automatically.
2- It is not showing the actual start date on any of the steps.
Do you agree with the above or have some comments?
