As of my knowledge I can say 90 % of the planners are not including resource on their schedule. They are comparing the performance & progress of the project based on planned weightage & actual weightage. The parameter selection for weightage shall be arying organi!ation to organi!ation. In some cases" this weightage alue shall be cost. #ithout inclusion of all the resources in acti ity we can$t get cur es % histograms. It is the general complaint placed in front of &rima era '.0 and higher ersions that this updated ersions are not good for ()*ur e. To get the planned & actual alues of () *ur e as well as +istogram we ha e to feed data again in ,-cel. I am sure that this software is not that much bad to us.

Still we cant say Gud Bye to Excel..for presentation we have to take data into excel only to compare plannned Vs Actual s-curve. Is there any way to print s-curve directly from -!. "r. Arvinder# $ah...$ou can %et curves in two ways# &ne is %o to 'rackin% "ode throu%h dirctories# select the current active pro(ect.$ou will find histo%ram ) curve ) *oth depends on your profile settin%s.
