How to use this calculator
- Enter total project tasks.
- Enter completed project tasks.
- Add blocked tasks that cannot move forward.
- Enter remaining days before the target date.
Evaluate team project health by combining progress, remaining work, blockers, and time pressure. Use it to forecast whether the project needs scope reduction or resource support.
A healthy project has strong progress and low blocker concentration. A low score means the team should remove blockers before adding more work.
Blocked tasks should include items waiting on approvals, dependencies, decisions, or external handoffs.
With 120 tasks and 78 completed, progress is 65%. If 10 of the 42 remaining tasks are blocked, blocked rate is 23.81% and project health needs attention.
Estimate the remaining daily task target and compare it with recent completion velocity.
Combine progress, blocked work, remaining time, and capacity into one project health score.
Common causes include unclear ownership, blocked dependencies, scope changes, and underestimated review time.
The right milestone count depends on project size, but each month should include measurable delivery checkpoints.
Blockers reduce completion probability because they prevent the team from converting available time into finished work.
