How the percentage of completion is calculated?

Juan,



Please note that you can alter the way % earned (i.e. performance % complete) is calculated per WBS element.



Furthermore the activity % complete calculation is driven by the activity % complete type (duration, units, and physical), so there a quite a few combinations to choose from.



The mechanism provides a lot of flexibility but it takes some time to understand how it works.



H.T.H.

Thanks Guys,



I think the issue here was the terminology, actually we were expecting to see the %of progress, and %earned.

Primavera Calculates the % of Completions as (Sum OD-Sum RD)/Sum OD, my project was loaded down at the finishing with more detail that at the beginning, that was the reason why my percentages were coming out real low.

Dear Friends,

% Completion of projects calculation is depends upon the Factors 1) Cost 2) Resources and 3) allocated Duration.

Decide with the consultants on which factor they have to monitor the % completion and Load the factor as the resources . and exports the BQ and give the weitages to activity and % .As the activity progress earned % and total % can be calculated.

Juan,



What % complete are you using?



There are quite a few in P3e and not all of then add up. (Duration % complete for instance)



Hope this helps,



Niek.
