Task Information: Tracking

Click the Tracking tab. By default, the first row should contain the actual start time with zero percent done.
Click the row below the previous entry.
Enter the date or select it from the calendar.
Enter the percentage of the task completed by the specified date. All dates and percents must be consistent. For example, you cannot have a record with 60% completed before a record with 40% completed. In addition, you cannot have historical data with the date Jan 5,2004 before the record with Dec 14,2003
Optionally enter remaining duration parameters: low, base, and high duration, and statistical distribution for remaining duration. If you don't enter this information remaining duration on each iteration will be calculated using extrapolation of original duration.
Define parameters of statistical distribution for remaining duration (see Defining statistical distribution for remaining duration for more information).
Type in a comment to record actual details of work completed. You can now view the Tracking chart.

Project risk management: performance measurement

Select the task to which you want to enter the tracking data.
Open the Task Information dialog box.
Click the Tracking tab. By default, the first row should contain the actual start time with zero percent done.
Enter low, base and high remaining duration for certain status date
Right click on ID and select Distribution for remaining duration
Select the distribution from the Distribution list. If you select Undefined, remaining duration will not be used for probabilistic analysis (analysis will be done using percent completed only) .
Define the distribution parameters. The Probability Density chart is automatically updated. You can adjust distribution parameters using the sliders.
If you use a custom or discrete distribution, a grid opens. The grid will allow you to define points (or intervals for discrete distributions) and associated with each point (interval)
If you select Normal or Lognormal, you must select the Low and High probability range (P1 and P99, P5 and P95 or P10 and P90). These are "cut-off" parameters; meaning that duration, cost, or start time cannot go beyond these values.
