Alternative for Showing Task Progress
Currently, to show task progress for a multi-day task, the user has to enter a "percent complete."
For many tasks this is difficult to measure and is really just a guess. Also, it requires continuous updating for tasks that are in-flight, which may be unnecessary for a multi-month task that is just on-track.
I recognize there are projects that will still use this feature. However, as an alternative it might be good just to have a manual status that is used - just have the user set a field that the task is not started, on track, behind plan or completed. That eliminates the need for continuous updates and trying to match / guess the percent complete on longer-duration tasks.
