Planned vs Actual involves comparing the planned timeline of a project with actual work undertaken. SMART provides real-time productivity insights, and enables you to identify potential delay risks and take action before they impact project timelines.

In SMART, we use the following terms to refer to different kinds of progress:

• Planned: The initial hours assigned to a schedule task
• Recorded: Actual hours recorded as complete in the schedule
• Observed: Hours tracked by SMART devices
