The planned and actual data comprise the timespan of the entire project. Any dates specified for process steps, in the Business Blueprint or Realization phases, must lie within this timespan.

The remaining work required is calculated from the difference between the planned data and the actual data and generated as a percentage in the Completed field. You can manually change the remaining work entry at any time.
