In NIZU, the project progress bar provides a visual representation of how far a project has advanced — not just by the number of tasks completed, but by the value and complexity of those tasks. This ensures a more accurate picture of progress, especially when tasks carry different weights.

How It Works

Each task in a project is assigned a point value, reflecting its complexity or importance.

• The default point range is 1 to 5.

• You can customize this range in:

  Settings > Setup > Task Settings > Task Point Range.

The progress percentage is then calculated using the total points from completed tasks divided by the total task points in the project:

Project Progress (%) = (Completed Task Points ÷ Total Task Points) × 100

Example

Here’s how a project’s progress would be calculated:

• Total Points: 1 + 1 + 4 + 3 + 1 = 10

• Completed Points: Task 1 (1) + Task 3 (4) = 5

Progress = (5 ÷ 10) × 100 = 50%

The project progress bar will display 50% completion.

Why This Matters

By calculating progress based on task weight, teams get a more meaningful insight into real project advancement — ensuring efforts are focused where they matter most.
