Thanks for the link, it's really useful. Is it possible to add the progress to everyone's dashboard on Moodle 2.7?
https://docs.moodle.org/27/en/My_home
I think I've found a bug. We've always used order by 'expected date' and things work great. However one of our course teachers wanted to use 'ordering in course' and all of a sudden the colors were all screwed up.
For 1, all non-submitted, non-passed items were blue. See this student who hasn't turned in anything but despite things being past due, everything is blue:
Second, non-submitted items show up as blue for some students and red for others. See CPSEL 1 (5th block, first row) is red for first student, but blue for second, yet both show not passed and not submitted (and after deadline).
Turning it back to order by expected date fixes it.
is it possible to view the progress of competencies or plan, like à grader report, whith your plug in?

When ordered following the course order, the timing of items is supposed to be ignored. This is useful in a course without deadlines or when students are working through a continuous course at different times.
The different colours in relation to passing is a concern. It should consistently go red of the student has failed regardless of the deadline. Do you think you could come up with a list of replication steps? If so, can you create a tracker issue?
Hi, Philippe.
The block doesn't work with competencies at the moment. Also, it's focused on a course whereas competencies are site-wide.

Please see my comment posted on 9 June.

You could check the capabilities of your test user. There is a capability to control viewing the bar in the Progress Bar block and that can have different values at different context levels.
Beyond that, it could be a bug. I tested this yesterday and it was working. Be sure you have the latest version. If you're still seeing the problem and can identify the steps that make it different in your case, please report an issue on the tracker.

From plugin overview...
Progress Bar block_progress Version for Moodle 2.0 onwards 2016051400
Moodle version Moodle 3.0.3+ (Build: 20160415)
I'm running a site on HowToMoodle, I dont have access to the plugin installer, which is a massive pain.
The dashboard block says "No Progress Bar blocks are set up for your courses." Like I stated earlier, I mad a test student, enrolled on actually 11 of our courses, all of which had the progress bar on the course page, which work just fine. For some reason it seems like that data from those just isn't being fed back to the dashboard block.
Thanks for letting us know.
