Task Summary

Understanding the Monitor

Actual Progress

This is the percentage of work you manually report as completed for the task.

Expected Progress

This is a calculated percentage based on the current date, task start date, and task end date. It represents how much of the task *should ideally* be completed if work is spread evenly over the task's duration.
Formula (simplified): (Days Passed Since Start / Total Task Duration Days) * 100%.
It's 0% if the task hasn't started and 100% if the end date has passed.

Status

Not Started: The current date is before the task's start date.
On Track: Actual progress is close to or greater than the expected progress (within a -5% tolerance).
Ahead: Actual progress is significantly greater (more than 10%) than expected progress.
Behind: Actual progress is less than the expected progress (by more than 5%).
Overdue: The current date is past the task's end date, and actual progress is less than 100%.
Completed: Actual progress is 100%.

Days Remaining / Overdue

Indicates the number of days left until the end date. If negative, it shows how many days the task is overdue (if not completed).

Progress Bar

The main colored bar shows your 'Actual Progress'. A thin vertical line/marker on the progress bar indicates the 'Expected Progress' point for quick visual comparison.
