Physical percentage project

Hello,

My EAP has the following description:

item 1 - x% - 397 days
item 2 - y% - 250 days
item 3 - z% - 250 days

My goal for the period is 22%.

How do I calculate the percentage for each item (x, y, z) so that the maximum percentage is 22%?

Grateful

Marcio, I am not sure if I got your question correctly, but I would assume EAP refers to Earnings Allocation Plan.

First, you have to calculate the total duration for all three items which is 897 days then determine the proportional weight for each item (Item Duration/Total Duration) and finally, multiply the proportional weight for each item by 22%.

For example, Item 1: 397/897 = 0.4425 x 22% = 9.72% then items 2 and 3 will be 6.11% each so total is 22%.

Hope this helps!

Ramie,

Thank you for your attention and response.

I did the test with the percentages you indicated in Projectlibre, according to the link:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1D7PqMeFLr...?usp=drive_link

Unfortunately, the result was "7%" instead of "22%", as expected.

Do you have any other solutions/tips?

Grateful
Márcio

Marcio, based on the info you provided and what you are looking for, this is the only logical mathematical answer that I can provide. Maybe something is off with your Projectlibre because if you want to get a total of 22%, I can't think of any other way but maybe others can provide better ideas.

My recommendation is using PMI´s Infinity for this matter.
