You can view your project's progress in the following locations:
Project dashboard – displayed beneath the project title. If the project title is too long, hover over it to view the progress percentages.
Project Overview – open a project and select the Overview tab to see the project's status panel.
How actual progress is calculated
Actual progress represents the percentage of the project that has been completed.
Actual progress is based on the total number of working days across all tasks. Non-working days are excluded from all calculations.
Step 1: Calculate the total number of working days
The duration of every task is added together to determine the project's total number of working days.
Example
If a project contains three tasks, each with a duration of four working days:
Task 1: 4 days
Task 2: 4 days
Task 3: 4 days
Total working days = 12
Step 2: Calculate completed working days
The reported completion percentage of each task is converted into completed working days. These values are then added together.
Example
A task with:
Duration: 4 working days
Actual Progress: 50%
Total completed working days = 2
Step 3: Calculate actual progress
Actual progress is calculated using the following formula:
Actual progress = (Completed working days / Total working days) x 100
How expected progress is calculated
Expected Progress represents how much of the project should be completed by today's date according to the project schedule.
Step 1: Calculate the expected completed working days
For each task, Geniebelt calculates what percentage of the task should be complete based on today's date. This percentage is then converted into the corresponding number of expected completed working days.
If the task has not yet started, the expected progress is 0%.
If today's date falls within the task duration, the expected progress is based on the elapsed working days.
If the task's end date has passed, the expected progress is 100%.
Example
A task with 4 working days and today's date is day 2 of the task:
Expected Progress: 50%
Expected completed working days: 2
The expected completed working days from all tasks are then added together.
Step 2: Calculate expected progress
Expected progress is calculated using the following formula:
Expected progress = (Expected completed working days / Total working days) x 100
Progress bar
The coloured progress bar below the project image provides a visual representation of the project's progress:
Coloured section – the project's actual progress.
In Progress (green) - when reported progress is higher than or equal to planned progress of the project.
Delayed (organge) - when the reported progress is lower than planned, but the end date of the project is still in the future.
Overdue (red) - when the project's end date has passed and it is not completed.
Completed (blue) - when all the tasks are reported as completed.Dark grey section – the project's expected progress.
Light grey section - part of the project that is in the future and no progress is reported.
Please note that Milestones are not calculated into the percentage for the progression.
