Project Operations- task completion vs estimated effort

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by
Hi everyone,
 
I hope you can help me 😊
I have a couple of related queries...
 
1) In Project Operations when the estimated effort is equal to the time tracked against the task it's automatically marking that task as complete. That's not actually helpful for me as the project manager as I need to know when the task is actually done, regardless of if we take longer than expected to perform that task. How can I stop this from automatically happening?
 
2) When I mark a task as complete that has LESS time tracked against it than expected, what happens to that effort? Is there a clever way to review 'unused effort' on the project?
 
3) Lastly, when I do (manually) set a task as completed I'd like that to prohibit any remaining hours being logged to that task. Is there a way to automate this?
 
Many thanks,
Danielle
