I’ll try and give you the 5 cent tour and then hopefully you can refine your question a little more. 1) Baseline the project (effort and duration) 2) Track actual start dates and actual effort / duration and remaining effort / duration 3) Reschedule tasks that havent started 4) Let MS Project calculate the % Complete(s) Regards, Darren Log in or register to post comments

Faisal,
Here’s what I would suggest...
Reschedule tasks that haven’t started
Tasks should be automatically rescheduled if the precedence logic is correct, if it isn’t try using lag times or reviewing the logic
Let MS Project calculate the % Complete
View > Table > Tracking
By entering actual start, duration / work and remaining duration / work MS Project will calculate the % Complete(s)
How do i know whether my project is on schedule or not
Use the status date and progress line as an aide and check against baseline.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Darren

Hi Faisal,
That’s a bit of a tricky question, you can use MS Project in many ways to track progress.
I’ll try and give you the 5 cent tour and then hopefully you can refine your question a little more.
1) Baseline the project (effort and duration)
2) Track actual start dates and actual effort / duration and remaining effort / duration
3) Reschedule tasks that havent started
4) Let MS Project calculate the % Complete(s)
