Dear Planners,
I was searching through the previous threads about the advantages and disadvantages of relationship between remaining duration and percent complete (autocost rules) in our plans and when it is better to use this feature. I noticed there was not any thread focusing on this subject.
As far as I understand, this check box is on by default. But sometimes it is misleading because the period of remaining work is not exactly related to the physical progress percent. In addition, by cutting this relation, you have to gather remaining duration as well as progress% from supervisors.
I would appreciate if you, planners, tell me your valuable experiences for using both alternatives in your time schedules and what was the main issues. In order to have an efficient discussion, I suggest to mention also the type of project you dealt with. (E,P,C)
cheers
