Percent of Completion for structured project planning

Phasi calculates project completion from project structure, relevant timeline phases, category grades and completed work.
Project structure Phase timeline Category grades Relevant phases

The method connects progress to the same planning model that teams update every day: project items in the task panel, phase bars on the timeline, category weights for the project and completion status for the phases that are relevant to each item.

Percent of Completion in Phasi is configurable, so different teams can apply it to engineering, construction, manufacturing, software, education, services, audits and other structured workflows.

Project structure

The task panel describes what is being planned or delivered: assemblies, modules, documents, supplier packages, service deliverables, audit scopes or other project items.

Relevant phases

Each item can have only the phase bars it actually needs. Work is measured by the phases present on the item, not by a generic checklist.

Category grades

Admins can weight phase categories for a project, such as Requirements, Engineering, Procurement, Manufacturing, Testing or Approval.

Calculated completion

Phasi combines category grades and completed relevant phases into item, parent and project-level Percent of Completion.

Method overview

Deliverable-based completion with milestone weighting

Percent of Completion in Phasi can combine deliverable-based physical percent complete with milestone weighting. The method is inspired by Earned Value Management, but it is grounded in the project's own structure and phase bars.

Teams define which categories matter, how they are weighted and which phases are relevant for each item. The completion value is then derived from the configured model rather than stored as a detached opinion.

Phase Weight

Phase Weight = Category Grade / Relevant phases in that category

If Engineering has a 10% grade and five relevant engineering phases, each relevant engineering phase contributes 2%.

Own Task PoC

Own Task PoC = sum((Category Grade x completed relevant phases) / Relevant phases in category)

A project item becomes complete through the weighted phases that are relevant to that item.

Project PoC

Project PoC = sum(top-level task PoC) / Number of top-level tasks

Subtasks are included inside their parent tasks before the top-level project result is calculated.

How the calculation works

Category grades

Admins define how much each type of work contributes to completion. The total category grade should not exceed 100%.

Relevant phases

If a task does not include procurement, procurement is not treated as missing work for that item.

Parent tasks

A parent can be calculated from subtasks. If it also has its own phase bars, the parent itself becomes an additional calculation unit.

Project-level result

The project-level completion value is calculated from top-level items to keep the summary readable while detail remains available below.

Configuration concepts

  • Weight phase categories for the project.
  • Count only phases that exist for a project item.
  • Calculate parent completion from child tasks and, when relevant, from the parent's own phase bars.
  • Use milestones as schedule context without replacing factual completion.

The more accurately a team maintains the task panel and timeline, the more accurately Phasi reflects the project's current state. The result is configurable, but less arbitrary than a detached manual percentage.

Connect completion to the project model

Use Phasi to keep structure, phase planning, completion and project discussion in one shared workspace.
