Progress of a project
The progress of a project may be
o not yet started,
o as scheduled,
o critical
o overdue or
o completed.
After creation of the project the progress is set to “not yet started” if its time frame lies in the future or to „as scheduled“ (optimistic model). The progress is by default automatically aggregated from the task and phase levels to the project level (see 8.1.6 Progress of a task and progress aggregation), but may also be set explicitly by the user. If there are no phases or tasks in a project, there is nothing to aggregate and project progress has to be set manually.
You set the progress of a project
• by selecting in the top menu of the project. In the action form, click the progress value desired. Choose “system-determined” if BSCW is to aggregate the progress.
Progress is represented by icons in the respective column
of folder listings: if a project or phase is not yet started, as scheduled or
completed, its progress is symbolized by 
. The icons 
and 
stand for
critical or overdue projects or phases. Also the project and phase icons in a
folder listing indicate progress: 
stands
for a critical phase, 
und 
stand for overdue and completed
projects, respectively.
