Hi JJ,
Welcome to this Microsoft Project newsgroup :)
My position on getting and entering progress data is described in my series
on Microsoft Project in the TechTrax ezine, particularly #27 on entering
progress data., at this site: http://tinyurl.com/2xbhc or this:

(Perhaps you'd care to rate the article before leaving the site, :)
Thanks.)
FAQs, companion products and other useful Project information can be seen at
this web address: <http://www.mvps.org/project/>
Hope this helps - please let us know how you get on :)

In my 10 years of scheduling, I have come across several ways of
getting status for a schedule. Usually, I just go with whatever the
"norm" is in the company that I am working for. I have seen the
following methods for getting status:
1) Request dates (actual or forecast) and % Complete
2) Request Remaining Work and Finish Dates
3) Request Remaining Duration (regardless of Finish Dates)
4) Request Finish Dates and alter Remaining Duration to hit Finish
Date
The IMSs are usually resource loaded, used for Earned Value, status is
taken weekly, and Actual Costs are NOT captured in the IMS. In #'s
2-4, the "% Complete" Value is statused to time now, which is usually
the Friday of the previous week.
So... is there an preferred or more accepted method of getting status
for an IMS?
Thanks!
JJ
