Ah, ok. Another question. If you've spent a certain amount of effort on a task. How do you determine if you're behind? What is estimated? The percentage complete, effort left, work done? I know they all provide more or less the same info, but which one is determined first? > I could see a use for creating a view of what a projected schedule would > look like based on progress to date so it can be compared to baseline, > but not to automatically adjust the project schedule on the fly. I would not like planner to extend duration automatically either. Ok, so what if I were to add a 'work done' field instead of an 'effort spent' one and I'd allow the user to select how to track progress (in percentage or in work done) as described before? I could use this feature myself by just filling in effort spent in the work done field, because I always just extend the task to make 'effort spent' equal to 'work done' before I save the planning. In your experience I suppose this feature doesn't offer much, unless the answer to my first question was that you estimate progress by 'work done'.
