Percent Complete Rules

Conventions for claiming earned value on work packages, such as 0/100, 50/50, and 20/80.

Definition

0/100 earns value only at completion; 50/50 earns half at start and half at finish; 20/80 earns 20% at start. Fixed rules avoid subjective percent-complete estimates.

Example

Using 50/50, a $10k task in progress has EV of $5k.

Exam tip

Fixed formula rules work best for short work packages.
