Greetings
Frustrated by a few things and hope I just don't understand ...
1. I update and report my project plan weekly. When I want to update progress on a task, I have to do so in percentage terms. My team communicates progress to me on a 'number of days' basis, i.e. how many days have they expended on a task, in that particular week. I then have to translate this to a percentage and add it to a prior percentage. Can I just add in the progress as a number of days not by percentage?
2. When updating the completion percentage for a task with a resource that is at say 80% efficiency, it calculates against the 'duration' instead of the 'effort'. If my resource managed a 100% effort on a task for a week, it isn't reflected accurately, as it should be against 'effort'!!!
3. I'd like to add in columns in the left hand pane to make it easier to read. I currently have 'effort' and 'duration' expressed as a number of days and would like to add in 'completed days' and 'days left to complete'. Do-able?
Many thx
Mark
