In Microsoft Project and Project server, there are two fields % complete and %work complete

Both fields refer to the percent of achievements.but the difference is

  • %Complete field value calculated based on Duration.
    • The equation of % complete is = (Actual Duration / Duration) * 100
  • %Work Complete field value calculated based on Work.
    • The equation of % Work Complete is = (Actual Work / Work) * 100

For example:

You have a project that has one task. this task has duration 7 days that started in 08/04/2017 and today is 11/04/2017 so the percent of achievements based on duration (%Complete) is about 50 % if your plan is on schedule and based on the actual duration.

Meanwhile, the % Work Complete will depend on actual resources work based on their timesheet and working hour per day for this task.
