Explanation:
Units
At Completion Units – the best estimate of units (typically hours) required for the resource to
complete the activity. Calculated as (Remaining Units) + (Actual Units).
Budgeted Units – the estimated units required of resource to complete the activity before the
activity begins.
Actual Units – the actual units the resource has expended on this activity?
Remaining Units – the estimated units required to complete an activity that is in progress.
Before the activity is started, the remaining units are the same as the budgeted units.
When the activity is in-progress, the actual units (received from CEFMS) are subtracted from the
remaining units.
When the activity is marked completed, the remaining units are set to zero.
