Is Project’s % Complete and % Work Complete same?

If your task is half complete, then the work is half completed. Right? Not always.

% Complete = Actual Duration / Duration
% Work Complete = Actual Work / Work

Many times, when you assign a resource to a task, the work is evenly spread across the duration and hence both these percentages will be same. This could vary if the work contour is other than flat. Let say you have a 5 days duration task assigned to a resource (100%). If the resource reports actual duration as 2.5 days, and actual work is 1h + 3h + 2h = 6h, then % complete is 50% and % work complete is 25%.

This difference would be visible in schedules with summary tasks, where the beginning tasks have minimum resources and tasks after the middle are loaded with more resources.
