How to make CA PPM show expired activities

[MichelBraga82317025]

Hello All,

 

We are starting to manage projects using CA PPM and I am still trying to dicover de native portlets and features CA PPM offers. One difficult I am having is to show my users if a task is late or not.

 

If the project manager does not update the task with a finish date which is different from the baseline finish date PPM does not show it as delayed. In the image below we can see many tasks which have finish dates in the past (february or march), are not concluded (% complete = 0%) and are also not marked as late.

 

 

Of course I understand that my project managers should update the tasks with new finish dates, and then PPM would show the delay in its portlets, but sometimes they just don't do that! =/

 

Is there a portlet which can help me with this? Or any other tip you guys could offer...

 

Thank you all!

1. Open Home and under Personal select General.

One thing I would mention as you mentioned that the % complete is still showing as 0 though the finish dates of the tasks are in past. This depends on the "% Completion method" selected in the Project level. This attribute value will not decide whether a Project can be marked as late or not, unless the finish dates are changed from what you see in the baseline.

Good catch. The "% Completion Method" has the following options "Effort" and "Manual". If you set to "Effort" you need to run the "Update % Complete" job. One thing to note, there is a difference between how MSP and CA PPM deal with milestones in regards to % complete that we discovered and brought forward to CA (Summary Task's % Complete not calculating based on Child Tasks that are Milestones ).

 

If you want further info on this, let me know.
