How is PPC calculated?

If you've downloaded one of our free Power BI dashboards, then you may have questions about how the PPC (percent plan complete) is being calculated.

Here's a quick summary:

The PPC of a task is the percentage of the days of planned work that happened between last week and now (or any two publication dates).

Example:

If you had three tasks;

• Task A - 3-day tasks all planned to occur in the reference week

• Task B - 2-day task all planned to occur in the reference week

• Task C - 4-day task with two days planned in the reference week and two days the following week

With these outcomes;

• Task A - all three days occurred during the reference week

• Task B - slipped, and one of the days occurred in the reference week

• Task C - slipped, and one of the days occurred in the reference week

• Task A - 3 / 3 days = 100% PPC

• Task B - 1 / 2 days = 50% PPC

• Task C - 1 / 2 days = 50% PPC

So your total PPC would be AVERAGE(A, B and C) = 66%
