Microsoft Project calculates percentage completion based on duration of the task. Hence Main task reveals the percentage completion based on the duration of subtasks. In reality, duration is not the deciding factor to calculate the project's overall percentage completion. Some activities takes more time, but its contribution to the project's overall percentage completion may be less. Some activities may take less time, but its contribution to the project's overall percentage completion may be more. Hence I would like to assign a weightage to each activity and wants Microsoft project to calculate the overall project percentage completion based on the weightage assigned and percentage completion updated.
Can someone explain how to assign the weightage on our own to each task for measuring the project overall progress percentage.
