Project Progress Estimate
It would be nice if the projects in Connections had an estimate as to how much of the overall work has been done. It would also be helpful if there was an estimate as how much time has elapsed so far to see if the project is on pace to be finished on time.
-
Tasks are planned have a completion% that can be set in the next major version of Connections. All of task completion data will roll up to the project for the estimate as to how far along the project is. When a task doesn't have a value set on the field it would be 0%. When a task is completed it's 100% and otherwise the entered completion% value would be used in the project estimate.
It could also be possible to estimate task completion based on hours entered out of projected hours on the task itself. With 8 hours entered on the task and an estimate of 15 hours projected to complete the task it would be 53% complete, assuming the estimate is accurate.
-
It would be very useful if in the next revision the project plan children tasks can be made to collapse or expand under the major parent task. This would allow each major milestone or department to have their own list of tasks that then can be set to 100% once that milestone or department have completed their tasks for a project.
Additionally useful for communication, the collapsible/expandable parent tasks would allow the executive team and depts. VPs to look at major milestones for a project while the working level team still has the detailed tasks to follow and track.
