Percent Complete

An estimate that indicates, as a percentage, how much of the work on an activity or WBS element has been finished.

Key Points

  • Expresses progress as a percentage of work finished for an activity or WBS component.
  • It is an estimate and should be based on objective measures (units installed, milestones achieved, tests passed) whenever possible.
  • Common measurement methods include 0/100, 50/50, weighted milestones, and percent of physical units completed.
  • Used for progress reporting and can feed Earned Value (e.g., EV = BAC x percent complete) when an appropriate method is defined.

Example

A WBS component requires installing 200 fixtures. If 120 are installed and verified, the percent complete is 60%. If the BAC for this component is $50,000, the earned value could be estimated as EV = 0.60 x 50,000 = $30,000.
