View task details

The project managers can view the details of any task item at any hierarchical level in the schedule from the 'Task Information' screen. The 'Task Information' screen shows various details about the selected task, including the planned and actual/estimated start and completion dates, current progress percentage, estimated cost, cost incurred on various cost types, the schedule and cost performance, and so on.

 View details of a schedule item

• Navigate to the schedule page of the project
• Identify the task for which you want to view the details and performance
• Right-click on the row and choose 'Task Information' from the options

The task information screen shows various details and statistical information about the task and performance indicators as charts and graphs:

The title bar shows the following details, as applicable to the item:

• WBS code
• Task Code
• Task Name
• Progress Percentage
• Critical task indicator - Appears if the item is a critical task
• Checkpoint, Milestone, or Inspection event indicator - Appears if the item is any one of these 
• Paused days indicator - If the task is paused, the number of days the task is idle

The dashboard shows the following cards and charts:

Start Date:

Scheduled - Planned commencement date of the task as per the schedule

Actual - The date on which the task was started on the field. The actual start date for last-level/field tasks is acquired from the daily field reports entered by the foreman. The actual start date for a parent-level task is calculated from the start date of its earliest started child task.  

End Date

 Scheduled - Planned completion date of the task as per the schedule

Actual - The date on which the task was completed on the field. The date appears only for the tasks completed to 100%. The actual end date for last-level/field tasks is acquired from the daily field reports entered by the foreman. The end date for a parent-level task is calculated from the completion date of its last completed child task.  

Hours

Planned - The manhours allotted to the task as per the contractor's estimate

Till date - The manhours consumed so far 

Avg Rate/Hr

Planned - The per-hour estimated cost of the task as an aggregate of all cost types, including material, labor, equipment, etc.  

Actual - The per-hour rate of the cost incurred for the task under different cost types, including material, labor, equipment, etc., till the current time.  

Prediction

End Date - The estimated end date of the task, calculated based on the current progress and the days spent 

Hours - The estimated total manhours required to complete the task, calculated based on the current progress and the hours spent 

Cost - The estimate at completion (EAC) calculated as a projection, using the actual cost of work performed (ACWP) and the current progress.

Variance - The difference between the planned task cost per the contractor's initial estimate and the EAC.

Cost - Estimate/Actual/Variance

The charts show the estimated and actual costs of the tasks, brokedown to different cost types.

Estimate - The total cost of the task as per the contractor's estimate. The donut chart shows the breakdown of labor, material, equipment usage, external subcontractor cost, and others. Move your mouse over a sector to view the cost allocated for that cost type.

Actual - The actual cost incurred so far under different cost types. The donut chart shows the breakdown of the actual cost for labor, material, equipment usage, external subcontractor cost, and others. Move your mouse over a sector to view the cost incurred on that cost type.

Projected - The EAC of the task. The donut chart shows the breakdown of the predicted cost for labor, material, equipment usage, external subcontractor cost, and others. Move your mouse over a sector to view the predicted cost for that cost type.

Variance - The difference between the estimated and the projected cost. The donut chart shows the breakdown of the cost variance for labor, material, equipment usage, external subcontractor cost, and others. Move your mouse over a sector to view the variance in that cost type. 

Productivity

The bar charts show the comparison of the planned effort hours, the actual hours spent so far, and the predicted hours.

Cost Performance

The bar charts show the comparison of the total planned cost, the actual cost spent to date, and the predicted estimate to complete (ETC).

Labor & Progress

The bar graphs show the day-wise statistics of the cost and effort hours spent on the task. The line graph shows the day-wise trend of crew members deployed to the task.

• Place your mouse over a bar to view the effort, hours, and cost spent and the number of crew members deployed on that day.

Baselines

The 'Baselines' card shows the details of the schedule revisions and baselines that affected the task. Each entry shows the planned start and end dates as per the baseline and the variance with respect to the previous baseline.

Dependencies

The 'Dependencies' card shows the predecessors of the task with their dependency relationships.
