Track Percent Complete for Tasks in Project

For a lot of Project Managers tracking of tasks can be daunting and complicated. An easy way to track tasks is by using percent complete by using the progress bar on a Gantt Chart in Project.

  • Insert a column, and select % Complete in your project.

Insert column percent complete

  • Click on the task, and click the percentage complete for that task.

Task bar percent complete

  • If you want to see the task progress for that task in your project you can point to the dark line inside the bar or look at the % Complete column you inserted.

Gantt status percent complete

  • If you have multiple task that need to be updated with the same % Complete, you can highlight those rows, and do the same step above.
