The Schedule Deviation metric indicates the slippage in the project schedule. In other words, it shows the percentage of time taken to complete the task. It is the difference between actual schedules and planned schedules, which indicates how well your project is in progress.<\/p>\n
Schedule Deviation is calculated using this formula:<\/p>\n

Where the Actual Finish Date<\/b> is the date on which the task is being completed and is marked as done. The Actual Finish Date is considered when the Phase (corresponding MSP Task) is closed and if the Phase (corresponding MSP Task) is open, the Planned Finish Date is considered.<\/p>\n

A negative (-ve) value for this metric indicates that the project is well within the scheduled date and moving forward according to the plan.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
A positive (+ve) value for this metric indicates that the project activities have consumed more time than what was planned for it, either because of scope creep or poor estimation and the project may slip for planned finish date and needs some corrective measures.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
For Development projects, this metric should be plotted by Project, whereas for Maintenance\/Sustenance projects, the \u2018Task-Plan-wise\u2019 view is more relevant.<\/p>\n
This metric is available at the Project level.\u00a0 You can group the data by Project or Task Plan.<\/p>\n
The actual Schedule is considered from approved timesheets only.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
This metric is computed for \u2018Closed\u2019 tasks.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
Only \u2018Working Days\u2019 are considered while computing the difference in schedule\/actual dates for computing the \u2018Schedule Deviation\u2019 as per the formula explained above.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
