![]() ![]() And that is because this task is part of the critical path. However, the change on this task has an impact in a considerable number of tasks in the schedule, including the project finish date – as we can see, now the project has a finish variance of 2.7%. Now we can see that the change we made in this task represents 10% of variance over the planned finish date – and, considering the proposed criteria for the indicator, it should show the yellow icon (percent of variance between 1% e 10%). So you change the start of the task to the new proposed date – Tuesday, August 11 th. You received a call from your customer, saying that the task number 6 – Interviews with Project Management Key-users – will not start on August 10 th as planned, because they will have a critical meeting and not all of the PMs are going to be available. ![]() The reason for this is that this task is not in the Critical Path (in other words, this task still has space to be delayed without delaying the project’s finish date). However, even though the task has a high percent of variance, this variance is not yet causing impact on the overall project. If we were following the criteria proposed for the graphical indicators, it would show the red icon (percent of variance greater than 10%). The result will be:Īfter changing the duration of the task from 5 to 6 days, it is possible to see that now the field ‘ % of Finish Variance’ is showing the number 20, which represents the percent of variance for this task based on what was planned (1 day of variance over 5 planned days of duration). So, instead of 5 days, you will log 6 days as the duration for this task. Now let’s say that a resource calls you to say that task number 3 – Prepare infrastructure – needs one more day to be completed. After that, you will have to insert in the Entry Table the custom field that has been created: Once your schedule is revised and ready, you can save its Baseline. It shows a project plan to implement Project Server 2013: Now, let’s have a look at the picture below. Click OK to finish the creation of the custom field In the Calculation for task and group summary rows area, choose the Use formula option.In this example, copy and paste the following formula: This will launch the editor dialog, where you can create the formula you want to use. ![]()
