#### Progress of a project

The progress of a project may be

o not yet started,

o as scheduled,

o critical

o overdue or

o completed.

After creation of the project the progress is set to “not yet started” if its time frame lies in the future or to „as scheduled“ (optimistic model). The progress is by default automatically aggregated from the task and phase levels to the project level (see 8.1.6 Progress of a task and progress aggregation), but may also be set explicitly by the user. If there are no phases or tasks in a project, there is nothing to aggregate and project progress has to be set manually.

You set the progress of a project

• by selecting File Change Progress in the top menu of the project. In the action form, click the progress value desired. Choose “system-determined” if BSCW is to aggregate the progress.

Progress is represented by icons in the respective column of folder listings: if a project or phase is not yet started, as scheduled or completed, its progress is symbolized by . The icons and stand for critical or overdue projects or phases. Also the project and phase icons in a folder listing indicate progress: stands for a critical phase, und stand for overdue and completed projects, respectively.
