For a project manager, gathering feedback from your team with their % completion on their deliverables is crucial, in order to make necessary informed decisions.
With the % complete quick update, we are making it easier for PM's to make quick updates to the tasks in the schedule during team progress sessions.
This article will explain how to update your schedule task percentage complete via the gantt chart.
Updating percentage (%) complete from the Gantt view
The % complete field/column allows you to quickly edit the task completion (in percentage) and update each task on your schedule without opening the task's dialog.
Updates on your percentage complete can be made by:
Selecting/clicking the % field and typing the actual percentage value.
Once the values are captured, click on the save option to apply the new percentage values.
When changing the % complete the status of the task will automatically be updated as well. For example, if a task was initially at 0% and then updated to 25%, the status will change from the Not Started to In Progress.
Note: all tasks that have auto-calculation turned on will not have the percentage field editable as the task's progress is automatically determined by the completion of its child/sub tasks.
