- You can see, the x-axis shows percentage numbers (-100% to 100%)
- The y-axis represetnts three categories viz. Planned Completion, Actual Completion, Slippage
- Put together, the bar “Planned Completion” represents – Number of tasks that are planned to be completed as of today, expressed as a percentage of total tasks in current project
- e.g. If current project has 50 tasks, of which, 25 tasks are planned to be completed today so the first horizontal bar in green color will show (25/50*100 = 50%) of 'Planned Completion'
- “Actual Completion” bar represents – Number of tasks that are actually be completed as of today, expressed as a percentage of total tasks in current project
- e.g. If current project has 50 tasks, of which, 20 tasks are planned to be completed and of these 20 planned tasks, only 15 tasks are actually completed as of today hence the next horizontal bar in green color will show (15/50*100 = 30%)
- “Slippage” bar represents – Number of tasks that are planned to be completed but not yet completed as of today, expressed as a percentage of total tasks in current project
- e.g. If current project has 50 tasks, of which, 20 tasks are planned to be completed and of these 20 planned tasks, only 15 tasks are actually completed and 5 are still not complete as of today hence the next horizontal bar in green color will show (5/50*100 = 10%)
