Planned Percentage Complete (PPC) enables you to monitor your project's progress by comparing planned activities with actual completions, providing a clear overview of project health. You can view this data directly from the Project Dashboard.
Note: By default, Planned Percentage Complete is disabled, which means the progress graph will not be visible on the Dashboard until it is enabled
How to Enable Planned Percentage Complete
Open Project Settings from the project dashboard (Option 1) or from the “More” menu while in the Build or Analyze section of a project (Option 2)
Navigate to “Planned Percentage Complete” and enable
Note: When Planned Percentage Complete (PPC) is enabled, use the Planning state to set up your schedule, then switch to the Committed state to update progress.

How Planned Percentage Complete is Calculated
Planned Percentage Complete (PPC) tracks project progress by comparing the number of completed activities to the total planned activities within a specific period.
Visual Indicators:
Red: Less than 75% of planned activities are complete
Yellow: 75–90% of planned activities are complete
Green: Over 90% of planned activities are complete
Note: For accurate data, project should be in “Committed” state
Viewing progress by codes
Select a Code from the drilldown dropdown
Once selected the chart will display lines which represent progress for each code over time
PPC Data From Multiple Versions
When more than 1 version exists, PPC data is pulled from the current version and all prior versions in the version chain that have progress updates
If an activity has progress updates in multiple versions, the version that was updated last wins and that data is used to calculate PPC
Once an activity has updated status of "in progress" or "completed", committed dates will be locked to ensure that the historical data is not changed every time the project goes back into planning state
