Progress of parent WI in plan view?
What exactly is the reason why some parent work items show now progress information with the info "The progress for this work item is computed only using its own information" while others show progress and show the child work items the information is calculated on?
I checked all planning related articles and forum entries but still does not get the reasoning behind that.

Accepted answer
Have you uploaded some of the workitems and the parent/child links with help of the Eclipse CSV import?
Or have you upgrade from V.3.0.1 to V.4.0.x.x
If yes the ClosureTable is not updated with the parent/child links and the values from children are not summed up, because the parent/child link is missing in the closure table.
You can rebuild the closure table with repotools-ccm.bat -rebuildClosureTable, but just in offline mode. And it may need an hour.
See defect 242299 and defect 242970.

Yvo, I would assume the ones that show no progress are not in the scope of the plan. I tried to explain some of the basics in https://jazz.net/library/article/589.
