About Progress Lines
A progress line is a way to graphically trace progress on activities and see how a project is performing with regard to its scheduled deadlines. When a progress line is drawn to the left of the data date, the activity is behind schedule. When a progress line is drawn to the data date, the activity is on schedule. When a progress line is drawn to the right of the data date, the activity is ahead of schedule.
Progress lines can be either progress point lines or variance lines. As a progress point line, the progress line shows either the remaining duration of an activity or the percent of the activity that has been completed. Progress points are determined by calculating the difference between current and baseline dates for each activity, or based on actual progress determined by each activity's remaining duration or percent complete. As a variance line, the progress line can represent an inconsistency between the planned and actual start dates or finish dates of a task.
