Any organization that executes on major projects will know the importance of gathering information on how far along they are on a project. In other words, evaluating Percent Complete. Evaluating that by activity, by phase, by project, etc. At 4castplus, we refer to this as a “Progress Measurement” and it serves as a critical function for calculating analytics such as Earned Value Management (EVM) metrics. Measuring progress however, is a tricky thing to do; and can cause companies to not bother with it if they don’t have a good system and process in place. This is unfortunate as it is a vital part of project management and project controls on major projects. Without it, you’re flying in the dark.

It’s important therefore, to have a solution in place that can offer both simplicity and accuracy when it comes to evaluating progress. A solution that will also gain a reliable and accurate percent complete. At 4castplus, we encourage our users to automate their progress measurements as much as possible by using the tools available for auto-setting percent complete.
