MS Project 2007-Percentage of task in overall project.

In the Open Standard

Hi,

I don't know if this has been posted before but I can't see anything about it.

Without any assignments or progress, how do you get MS Project to show what percentage of each task is on overall project?

For example; one task is 10% of the project, next task being 60% & the last task is 30% - not as in completion.

If this makes any sense, can someone please help?

 

Many Thanks

Emerson

    Whoa there. I am afraid your question just does not make sense. What do you mean by a task being some % of the project, and each task being some various different % of the project? A % has to be a % of something. There has to be a fraction with a numerator and a denominator. Something about a task can be some % of something about the project but what might that be? The project might involve 100 m3 of concrete altogether and one task might involve 10 m3 of concrete, so it is 10% of the total concrete. Your software only knows about duration, work and cost, and any task wil have a certain amount of duration, work and cost, which will be a fraction of the total project duration, work or cost. Hope this helps.

    Emerson,to display the %

    Emerson,

    to display the % complete on the Project Summary Task, open the Bar Format dialog (double clic the empty space of the Gantt Chart for that), select the Project Summary Task, clic the Text tab and add the % complete at one end of the bar

    you will get an average value of the different % complete values related to the individual tasks of the project
