About Steps

Steps make it possible to describe and report progress for activity work at a granular level by breaking an activity into its component parts.

Steps can have a step weight that quantifies the portion of an activity's total work that each step represents. On a project per project basis, you can use step weights to calculate Activity Percent Complete. For example, three steps are assigned to an activity; the first step has a weight of 2, and the second and third steps each have a weight of 1. When you mark the first step (weight of 2) as complete, the percent complete is 50. When you mark the first and second steps complete, the percent complete is 75. When all three steps are marked complete, the percent complete is 100.
