Redmine

The Redmine Weighted Progress plugin enhances project tracking by introducing weighted calculations for task completion. Instead of treating all tasks equally, this plugin allows tasks to have different levels of importance, ensuring a more accurate and meaningful progress calculation.

How It Works¶

• Each task in a project can be assigned a weight that reflects its significance relative to other tasks.
• There are no fixed weight scales (e.g., 0–1 or 0–100); the system automatically normalizes the values.

• If a task has sub-tasks, its progress is calculated using the weighted average of the completion percentages of its sub-tasks.
• The weight assigned to each sub-task determines its impact on the overall progress of the parent task. A task with a higher weight contributes more to the parent task’s completion percentage.

• At the project level , the overall progress is determined by applying the same weighted averaging method to the top-level tasks.
• This ensures that tasks with greater importance have a larger influence on the project’s total completion percentage.

An example¶

Consider a project with two main tasks:
1: Conduct training sessions for the client
2: Account setup for client onboarding process (with sub-tasks)

Sub-tasks for Task 2:
2-1: Create a user account for the client (Weight = 1, Progress = 100%)
2-2: Set up necessary access and permissions (Weight = 3, Progress = 40%)

The weighted progress for Task 2 is calculated as: (1*100+3*40)/4 = 55%

Similarly, if Task 1 and Task 2 have weights of 0.1 and 0.4, the overall project progress is computed in the same manner.
