Key takeaways

  • Percent Complete Calculation: The overall project progress is calculated based on the Percent Complete values of individual tasks, weighted by their duration or planned hours. ​
  • Planned vs. Projected Dates: Workfront calculates planned and projected start/completion dates based on task durations and predecessors. ​ Discrepancies between these dates indicate potential delays. ​
  • Project Condition Status: The condition field (e.g., On Target, At Risk, In Trouble) reflects the project’s status and can be set manually or automatically using Progress Status mode. ​
  • Open Issues Management: Open issues signal potential risks. ​ Reviewing and converting them into tasks promptly is essential for maintaining project timelines. ​
  • Condition Update Column: Weekly updates from the project manager in the Condition Update column provide a clear summary of progress and help track the latest developments. ​
