Weighted deliverables and associated weighted deliverables milestones must be established before earned value is calculated for any object with a Weighted Deliverables progress method.

The total weight of all weighted deliverables established for an object should be equal to 100. Similarly, the weighted milestones established per deliverable should also have a total weight equal to 100. If this is not the case, the system can still calculate Weighted % Complete assuming all of a deliverable’s milestones have an established Weight and % Complete, and all deliverables have an established Weight.

After set-up is complete, Deliverable Milestones % Complete must be updated before earned value is calculated for each project period. The deliverable milestones’ total Weighted % Complete will then roll up to the associated deliverable’s Weighted % Complete.
