MS Project Template

$5.99

MS Project Planned % vs Actual % completion- The MS Project file is inside the zip file, unzip the file and use the MS Project file that already has the custom fields built in which calculates the planned % completion.

Description

Download the Microsoft Project File with the custom fields and formulas already updated for ready to use for your project plan. Why do we need Planned % completion in MS Project? Well, in MS Project we have a default column % completion which is manually updated by the PM. However if we want to know what should be the planned % complete for that task and how it track against the actual % complete then we need to calculate the Planned % complete value. 

Ex. If you have a task that starts on Monday and ends on Friday. So the total task duration is 5 days, that means ideally each day 20% of the work should be completed to reach 100% by end of Friday. So the custom field “Planned % Complete” will calculate that for each task with the formula I included in the file, so that when you receive the actual % completion value from your team you would be able to compare and it against the calculated planned % complete to identify whether the task is running late or ahead.

  2. Greetings Nik

    I have recently purchased the template for MS Project v Actual.

    It is working well how I have a question that I hope you can answer.

    I have the columns and formulas as described on a Master Schedule where the process will include attaching sub projects into the Master. My question is:
    How do I get the Planned % complete to work with the inserted sub project. Is it required to insert the columns and formulae into the sub project so that when I insert the sub project it will calculate the planned v actual ? How Does the formula manage the % Complete at Summary level
    Or can I just “fill down” in the column.

    I look forward to hearing from you
