## Calculate task progress

You can calculate the task progress using different fields and formulas. The progress can be displayed as a column, on the taskbar, and on the task details dialog once you click the taskbar.

For example: The SHPBOWM project is mapped to use the Time Tracking fields to calculate the progress (Remaining estimate and Spent time). The Select the property to build on (SHPBOWM-2) completed in 33% according to the following formula Time spent (1w)/Time spent + Remaining estimate (3w) * 100 %:
