Reporting Remaining Work Estimates

The Activity Details Resources tab displays the number of remaining units calculated for an activity. For your in progress activities, you can use this tab to report your estimate of remaining work. If you are the primary resource for an activity, you can also report remaining work estimates for nonlabor and material resources.

The estimates you enter are pending and can be modified by the project manager before actuals are applied to the project.

A project-level administrative setting determines whether you estimate progress on started activities in terms of New Remaining Units or Percent Complete.

To report estimates

  1. Select the activity in the Activities view or open timesheet.
  2. On the toolbar choose (Shift+F10+Down Arrow+ Enter or space) to display Activity Details.
  3. Choose the Resources tab.
  4. In the Assigned Resources list, choose your name, or the nonlabor/material resource name.
  5. Record estimates in the format required by the project, either New Remaining Units or Percent Complete. The field that displays reflects this setting.

    In the New Remaining Units field, type the number of work periods you will need to complete the activity.

    In the Percent Complete field, type the percentage of work you have already completed for the activity.

The estimated values you record are pending for the activity and can be modified by the project manager before actuals are applied to update the project.

Tip
