Task progress, in AceProject, can be measured in 2 ways: using the “% Done” value or using the “Actual % Done” value.
The “% Done” field is a drop-down with values ranging from 0 to 100% in 10% increments. As work is being performed, assigned users on tasks should adjust this value for 2 reasons:
- The task Gantt charts reflect progress based on the % Done value.
- The Estimated Average % Done value on the project is based on the % Done and Estimated Hours on each task in the project. Furthermore, progress reflected in the project Gantt charts is based on the Estimated Average % Done value.
The “Actual % Done” field is a computed field based on the actual hours recorded against the task by users in their timesheets. More precisely, it is computed as follows:
Actual % Done = Actual Hours / Estimated Hours X 100
