Task Assignments - Remaining Effort for remaining days?

Question

Do task assignments take into consideration the remaining effort, and if not, how to best handle this?

Example: New task created starting today, with 100 hours of Work, and duration of 2 months. This equals 12.5 hours of work per week.

This task gets marked as 50% complete on day 1, which signals that 50 hours of Work are remaining, or 6.25 hours of task assignment effort per week.
From what I can see, the Task Assignment will still show 12.5 hours despite the progress suggesting otherwise.

Does AdaptiveWork consider Remaining Work as part of the Task Assignment numbers for future days of an open task’s schedule?

Perhaps I am misunderstanding a feature that already exists, or the way it is meant to work.

Any insights or information on this would be greatly appreciated.

Hi DanielThe assignments don’t update when % complete / actual effort or remaining effort get updated.To the get day to day assignments to update and spread the remaining effort over the remaining period of time, you would need to use the Update Forecast functionality.Highlight the work item in question (e.g. the task) and click the Update Forecast button under the Resourcing tab. It asks you to update the forecast from the date of your choice (from today onwards) and then choose from the relevant forecast options.Hope that explains and helps.Limor
