Estimates (ETC) at the Project Level

The Estimate to Complete (ETC) is the estimated time for a resource to complete an assignment. This value is important for both project planning and revenue recognition. In the short run, estimates help project managers more effectively allocate work hours. In the long run, project managers can compare estimates to actuals, which can help produce more accurate forecasting and planning.

Timesheet actuals are generated from the approved hours staff members record on timesheets.

After assigning staff to tasks, you can view and edit combined ETC of all project tasks on the Project: Properties: Main - Estimating page.

Note: See the Common Features and Personal Options User Guide for more information.
