Planned percent complete - call for discussion

I have many clients who are concerned that "Schedule % complete" is based on the baseline’s duration - whereas they would like it based on "work" or earned value.

I think I have a workaround.

Take a fresh copy of the unprogressed baseline.

Set all activities to "auto compute actuals"

Run Apply Actuals to the current data date.

Demote this version to being a baseline.

The "units % complete" from the baseline IS available - and with the "perfect" progress in the baseline plan, "units % complete" is the expected "performance % complete"

This should constitute "Planned % Complete"
