Wondering if anyone out there has enabled the Planned Work feature after projects were created in their system? We are about to enable and want to make sure we don't end up with any unforseen issues. When we tick the box to enable, we get a pop up that states "_Enabling this feature triggers a recalculation of all projects and their project plans without a Closed status. Projects that are finished but have not been set as Closed may have adjustments made to the percent complete, billing, or revenue recognition._" Obviously, anything that talks about adjustments to revenue recognition causes some worry. We use the Percent Complete Override on all our projects for revenue recognition, so I'm not sure that this will actually cause any problems though. Any help/insight is greatly appreciated!

It doesn't work for us, as most do ad-hoc time entry to many project tasks. It's quite clever how it "fills-out" schedules based on allocation to tasks and someone's daily capacity.

We are more interested in it to keep the estimated vs actual hours accurate. Right now, if someone logs more hours than we have in our "Estimated Work" field, it changes the amount within that field.

Yes, it expands, without warning...if I was the PM I'd Iike to know when that happens.
