PMP Fighter's picture

Stakeholders have agreed on the 80/20 rule for progress reporting on tasks for the project. If the status of two tasks I & II is as follows, how should these be reported on the progress report ?

Task Status I Just started, Task Status II finish 40 hrs of work and remaining on a 80 hr work package.

Select one:
a. Task I is 0% complete, Task II is 50% complete.
b. Task I is 20% complete, Task II is 20% complete.
c. Task I is 20% complete, Task II is 50% complete.
d. Task I is 20% complete, Task II is 80% complete.

B is answer.

Task I is 20% complete, because base on 80/20 rules, A task is 20% complete when it begins.

But how come Task II is 20% also?
"finish 40 hrs of work and remaining on a 80 hr work package"

It means total 120 hrs work, and 1/3 (33.33%) work done.

You either report 80% or 20% since its not 80% complete you report 20%
