Adobe Workfront calculates goal progress automatically, based on the progress of its progress indicators.
Overview of goal progress and threshold
After you activate a goal, Workfront Goals starts calculating its progress and condition and displays the following indicators when you hover over the Progress field:
| Indicator | Indicator description |
|---|---|
| Actual percent complete | How much of the goal has actually been completed so far. Workfront Goals calculates this value by averaging the percent complete of all progress indicators associated with the goal. |
| Expected percent complete | How much of the goal should be completed so far in order for the goal to complete on time. Workfront Goals calculates this value by looking at the Duration of the goal and the current moment in time. The goal should display this value at the current time, if it were to complete on time. |
| Progress | A label that indicates whether the goal is on target to be completed on time, or if it is at risk or in trouble of not completing. |
Actual percent complete
Workfront Goals automatically calculates the actual percent complete of a goal based on the percent complete average of the goal progress indicators.
The following items are considered progress indicators for goals:
-
Results
For information about adding results to goals, see Add results to goals in Adobe Workfront Goals.
-
Activities
For information about adding activities including projects to goals, see Add activities to goals in Adobe Workfront Goals.
-
Aligned children goals
For information about parent and children goals, see Align goals by connecting them in Adobe Workfront Goals.
Workfront Goals calculates the actual percent complete using the following formula:
Actual percent complete of goal = SUM(Percent complete of goal progress indicators)* 100 / Number of progress indicatorsFor example, if a goal has a Result that is 20% complete, a Manual Progress Bar that is 30% complete, a project that is 10% complete and a children goal that is 40% complete, the goal percent complete is 25%.
Expected percent complete
Workfront Goals automatically calculates the expected percent complete of a goal based on the total number of days in the duration of the goal as well as on the number of days that have passed since the goal start date.
Workfront Goals calculates the expected percent complete using the following formula:
Expected percent complete of goal = Number of days since the goal start date * 100/ Number of days in the goal duration
For example, if a goal is due to complete in 90 days, and today is the 45th day of that duration, then the Expected percent complete is 50%.
