Manual Percent Complete Method

If you are using the manual percent complete method, PowerSteering is doing nothing to calculate the percent complete. The user is in complete control of the value.

  • Pros: The manual percent complete method gives users a fast and easy means of updating the percent complete on a project or in bulk on Dashboard.
  • Cons: Since the users are given full control over the percent complete value, you are dependent upon someone's opinion about the progress of the project

Note: Unless defined at the template level, the default for all new projects will be Manual. See Change the Way PowerSteering Calculates the Percent Complete for a Project for more information about changing the percent complete method.
