Project status

Use the Project Status widget on the Overview tab to see at a glance whether the project is delayed, ahead or on time. It also compares the expected end date with the planned end date.

Project status and projected completion

The widget heading is Project Status - followed by the project name. It shows:

• the status: Delayed, Ahead or On Time, from the planned end date against the expected end date. When the project is delayed, it also shows the delay in weeks.
• the end dates, labelled Expected and Planned. The planned end date is the base end date.
• the progress values, labelled Actual and Planned.
• two arrows, labelled Completion and Progress.

In a sample project:

• The project status is Delayed. The planned end date is 12 Mar 2020 and the expected end date is 25 Sep 2020. The widget shows dates as day, month and two-digit year, for example 25 Sep 20.
• Based on the planned end date, the project should be at 44.4% progress as of the current date. The actual progress is 13.5%. So the team must catch up a shortfall of 30.9% of the work.
