Hi Planners,
I have developed a method which I want to you guys/gals to rack your brains and check if it is right or wrong, and, input your worthy comments / analyses.
I have a project programme for a construction project of 4000 activities. There are no resources loaded and no cost loading, too. The programme is updated every week. Since, in primavera, summarisation of the whole project does not give the percentage of planned / achieved in two decimals, the updates with a frequency of 1 week will not make a major difference to planned / achieved works significantly especially in the early stages of the project. So, I have added the total of the percentages of all the activities i.e. 4000 x 100 = 400,000 %. Now, lets say, after 10 weeks into the project there are 100 activities which are 100% and 50 activities which are 40% and 10 activities which are 20%. Therefore, the total percentage of the achieved activities after 10 weeks of the project would be 100x100+50x40+10x20 = 12,200 %. The weighted of the percentages of the activities would be 12,200 / 400,000 = 3.05%. (Note: The achieved percentages of the activites are dependant on the durations of the project.)
So, would I be correct in assuming that the "Physical Progress" of the entire project would be 3.05% of the total project as on the 10th week of the project? If so, how accurate would this method be?
Can you people "pull your hair out" on this and give me an answer at the earliest?
Regards,
Vishwas
