SmartPM automatically calculates each Project’s Planned vs Actual Percent Completion via four different calculations.
- Planned: The percent complete anticipated in the Baseline on the date of the latest imported Schedule Update
- Actual: The percent complete reported in the latest imported Schedule Update
Overall: The Overall percent complete is a blended calculation that utilizes the following three calculations, utilizing a weighted average approach:
- Cost: SmartPM identifies all activities with cost associations and utilizes their overall Earned Cost Value to generate the Percent Complete calculation
- Resource: SmartPM identifies all activities with Manhours and utilizes their overall Actual Units reported to generate the Percent Complete calculation
- Duration: SmartPM utilizes each activity's overall Duration Complete to generate the Percent Complete calculation
Note: If your schedule is not Cost or Resource loaded, the Percent Complete calculation will be based solely on Durations
