Recalculate Scheduled Work, Earned Value and Progress
Explanation
Perform this activity to recalculate scheduled work, earned value and
progress for projects classified as large projects. The recalculation can be
done on project level or on sub project level for these projects.
This activity is only used for projects which are classified as large
projects and when more current values for scheduled work, earned value and
progress are needed. Large projects will of performance reason have these values
calculated in a scheduled task and stored in a table from which the values are
retrieved. All other projects will have their scheduled work, earned value and
progress recalculated in real time update. If the user wants to get the real
time values for large projects these can be recalculated for the project or sub
project by using a right mouse button option.
