All,
I am requesting Workfront to tweak the Algorithm for tracking project conditions because we have a number of projects listed "At Risk" when they aren't really at risk.
The algorithm takes the percent complete bar into a little more consideration than the planned start, planned completion, and actual start date for tasks. To keep our projects "On Target" We are telling our content developers to put 25, 50, or 75% in the task percent complete bar even though they may not be that far along just to keep the project "On Target" for reporting purposes.
An example of this is a task that had a planned start date of 6/15/18. The content developer began the task on 6/15, and the task is not due until 7/12/18. They had to move the percent complete bar to 50% today, 6/25/18, to keep the project "On Target". The task is planned to take only eight hours, so something is not right with the algorithm.
I'm only requesting that the algorithm not be weighed so heavily on the percent completion bar when tracking tasks. Thank you.
