Entering Weights Manually

If you selected Milestone Weights or Milestone Weights with % Complete for the EVM, you can enter custom weights for each milestone manually. Milestone weights must represent 100% of the work required to complete a task, but they do not have to equal 100.

MPM provides two additional windows that provide summary information about the WBS element and the weighted values.

Timephased BCWS Window

The Timephased BCWS (Budgeted Cost of Work Scheduled) window shows the weighted costs by month. The display is not impacted by the period selected for the Gantt chart. To display the window, click image\winm0101_wmf.gif Show Timephased BCWS.

WBS Total Window

The WBS Total window shows summary information for the selected WBS element. To display the window, click image\winm0102_wmf.gif Show Total Window.
