RTC 6.0.6.1 - Progress of execution items, not updating progress (complexity) of Plan Items
Hi,
We have a relatively simple planning structure in a traditional project management planning template.
We have a custom attribute as a “Complexity” attribute for plan items and we estimate execution items using hours effort.
I expected that as we log work against and close execution items, this would show as progress in the plan items with the complexity attribute. But a plan item’s progress only shows any progress when the plan item is closed, so 0% or 100%.
Am I missing something in my config? Do execution items need complexity values as well? That would be a pain.
One answer
The complexity (on one or more plan items) and the estimation on execution items are completely unrelated as far as I can tell. I just set up a simple example and the execution item estimates are presented as rolled up.
I configured a complexity attribute of type integer and configured the attribute mapping etc.
I added the complexity attribute to the plan item change request but not to the business need.
For all I can see, the complexity correctly rolls up from the change request to the business need across valid parent child relationships.
In addition to the complexity roll up I can also see the effort roll up from the execution items to the change request and the business need.
The progress and load bars seem to show something meaningful.
