Discussion

The project is complete when all tasks are marked as 100% complete. Microsoft Project calculates the duration, resource usage, and costs for the individual tasks and for the project in its entirety. All of these calculations are based on the available schedule information. This information may or may not reflect what actually happened on the project. You may need to enter actual information manually in order to get an accurate picture of the final project information. For example, a task may have had a duration of three days, but the resources only worked on the task for six hours on the last day. In this situation, you would need to adjust the data to reflect actual hours, which would alter your cost information, making it more accurate. Manually entering actual information should be done before comparing the actual information to the baseline information.
