Hi Babynus,

as is:
  • left work is "planned work - real work".
  • progress is based on planned work

to be: for us, basis should be validated work, because validated is the amout of work, which is approved by our management.

Would it be possible to implement this values? Possibly both values could be provided or may be in Global Settings it could be choosen the baseline for this calculation.

Hi Klaus,

Sorry, I don't undrstand the request.

As is :
Progress = ( real work ) / (real work + left work)

Request
Progress = ( real work ) / ( validated work )
=> this is wrong !

Exemple :
Validated work = 10 days
After some days :
- Real work = 5 days
- left work = 7 days
Then progress = 42% [=5/(5+7)], and earned value can be calculated as :
Earned value (BCWP) = validated work * progress = 4,2 days
Actual cost (ACWP) = 5 days
So the "cost performance index" (CPI) = BCWP / ACWP = 0,84 < 1 => the project is not efficient.
You proposition Progress = 50% is wrong. What would it mean for you ?

Sorry, my request went in the wrong direction. If have to explain a bit more.
Your explaination is OK and I confirm your definition of progress.

Regulation by us:
Validated work = approved work by management
Planned work = work planned by Projectorria.

Issue for us:
We didn't assign all validated work to resources. This means planned work is in most cases lower than validated work.
If progress is (real work) / (real work + left work) and as long not all validated work is assigned, from our perspective this value of progress is wrong on a activities and project perspective.

We need:
a utilization figure: (real work) / (validated work). Because nobody is allowed to overdraft validated work - and this has to be controlled.

I hope this enlightend my request.

This could be considered as "Expected progress".
Isn't it ?

Other interesting information could be :
- Commercial earned value = (1 - ( "Assigned" / "Validated" ) )
=> > 0 means assigned is less than validated => validated is over estimated or assigned is missing
=> < 0 means assigned ismore than validated => validated is under estimated
- Production earned value = (1 - ( "Planned" / "Assigned" ) )
=> > 0 perfomance of team is better than expected
=> < 0 performance of team is worst than expected
