Projet plug-in and progress%

elliot01 · 2012-04-18 17:42:40

Hi folks,

I've just been playing with the Project plug-in for GLPI v0.83. I really like it and must thank those involved in its development.

I do have a query, however, in regards to the overall project's progress percentage. I'm surprised this isn't automatically calculated. Personally, I was expecting to be able to create, say, 10 tasks, which would comprise the project, then as each task is completed (1 task equalling 10% in this case), the project homepage/header/hierarchy would automatically reflect this.

So, if 6 of the 10 tasks are completed, the plugin displays 'Progress: 60%', instead of the project manager or techies having to remember to update this value.

Is there a reason it's left to be manually maintained, or a reason it wouldn't be practical to do it the way I have described? I must admit, I haven't used any project management software before, so please excuse me if this is a silly expectation!

On the other hand is this a feature which might make it into future versions? Or would it even be easy to hack it in its current form?

Thank you!

Hello,
I'm also interested by this post, and I'll add this: could it be possible to input time spent for a task instead of % of progress, then doing a ratio between planned workload and time spent we can deduced the progress in %.
thank you,
regards,
