Thanks for your reply. There are situations in which the
PM needs to zero out the remaining work to support a
particular development methodology that works in
iterations. If a task isn't completed in a certain
iteration the original task is zero'd out and then a new
task in the new iteration is added with the remaining work
added to the work. The way I understand project to work
when remaining equals zero the task should be marked 100%,
correct? Professional isn't doing this though. The PM
has to mark the task 100% after putting the remaining work
to zero.
Any thoughts?
