Seth Godin wrote once that “Every company, indeed, every organization, is a tribe, or if it’s large enough, a
network of tribes—groups of twenty to 150 people in which everyone knows everyone else, or at least knows of
everyone else. Tribes are more powerful than teams, companies, or even CEOs, and yet their key leverage points
have not been mapped—until now.”

Ignite is here to start with a spark to create a flame that everyone member in the tribes will be developed.

controller or project manager makes in establishing
an progress control or EVM plan is to select an appropriate
measure of earned value for each work package.
According to the 5th edition of the

Progress measurement addresses this question and serves assigns a weighted value to the

controls. achievement of each milestone. ”
Steps make it possible to describe and report progress for
activity work at a granular level by breaking an activity into
its component parts. Steps can have a step weight that
quantifies the portion of an activity's total work that each
step represents. On a project per project basis, you can use
step weights to calculate Activity Percent Complete.
Weighted steps enable you to track the progress of an
activity based on the number of steps completed.
 Weighted Step

How do you figure out percent complete on a project?

How is it you go about objectively assigning a reasonable

and accurate measurement of how far along you are on an
item of work?

How many times have you asked, “Hey, where

did that number come from?”

Rule Of Credit can answer those questions.

For any workpackage in the work breakdown structure, a

project manager can define any number of milestone
events that define the incremental progress of that task.

An example milestone could be, “Engineering

Completed”. Another milestone could be “Pre-construction
Completed". Connected with that, a percent complete value
is associated with each milestone.

All milestones in the task will tally up to 100%. As work is

completed on the task, these milestones can be checked-off
as completed and the associated percent will be auto-
applied to the task.

Without Using STEPs Function

Option 1 : Detail construction activity listed as activities.

With STEPs Function

“Steps” is a function in Primavera P6 that allow user to divide activities into smaller increments and track the completion.

• Activity percent complete is calculated based on the relative weights of the completed steps versus incomplete steps.
• This method suit of large activities that contents few activities steps.

Steps make it possible to describe and report progress for activity work at a granular level by breaking an activity into its component
parts.
 With STEPs Function

“Steps” features in Primavera P6 in an interesting features to be used rather than creating a list of activities short-durations and no
priorities.

If you’re going to use the Steps feature in Primavera™ P6 to progress % Complete you need to check the “ Activity Percent Complete
Bases on Actual Steps” box in Project Calculations tab.
 With STEPs Function

As you tick this box you will get a message explaining that the Physical Percent Complete values will be recalculated from the steps.

Note: if an activity is set to Percent Complete Type “Physical” but does not have Steps, then the values will NOT be recalculated. It will
only recalculate values that have steps assigned AND are Percent Complete Type “Physical”
 With STEPs Function

Following that you need to use “ Physical % Complete “on the Activity that contains the steps
Steps Function

To indicate the portion of activity work that a single step represents, you can assign it a numerical value, or weight.

Once work for a step is underway, Primavera can use the step weight and the reported progress of step work (Step Percent Complete) to
calculate the percentage of total work that has been completed for the activity (Activity Percent Complete).

In the diagram above , each step is assigned a Step Weight and the Step Weight Percent is calculated.

When you add a step to an activity that already has steps defined, the default weight for the new step is 1, providing no steps have been
marked Completed, and no steps have a Step % Complete of 100%.
