Compare Estimates to Actuals

Once a resource starts recording time spent on a task assignment and actuals are posted, you can compare the estimates (ETC) to actuals.

You can also compare actuals to estimates from the portlets on the dashboard and from the project team staff page. Once the project is under way, use the initial baseline to compare estimates (ETC) to actuals.

Follow these steps:

1. Open the project and click Task.

   The list page appears.

2. Open the Tasks menu and click Assignments.

   The task assignments page appears.

3. Click the Properties icon next to the name of the task.

   The assignment properties page appears.

4. In the Assignments section, view the following fields.

   Actuals

   Defines the total work units that a resource has worked and posted to the task assignment.

   ETC

   Defines the total remaining work for the task. The list displays the value for the ETC field on the task estimating properties page.

   Required: No
