MS Project Pro 2003 experts? Challenge...

SummerHelpDude · 06-20-2006, 12:44 PM

If you can help me, you deserve a pat on the back. Im running a large project on MS Project Pro 2003, and I need to figure out what the difference is between : % Complete and % Work Complete

Also, we use Remedy Numbers as a reference number, and for some reason they arent showing up on the Web Access... Has anyone had this problem with reference numbers or other data showing up blank?

Any Help would be beyond awesome if your experience enough.

Me thinks that "% work complete" deals with assigned resources. It is an estimate that then adjusts the remaining work accordingly. Exp: A task was scheduled to take 10 weeks. You're 50% done = 5 weeks left, regardless of the assigned end date.

% complete relates to "Earned Value" based on the parameters you've established for measuring progress.

So if you aren't using your schedule to gage earned value for the task, you're using % work complete. Using EV will give you a more accurate read on progress but requires more interaction with the field.
