Website Upgrade Incoming - we're working on a new look (and speed!) standby while we deliver the project

Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

Dear Fellow Schedulers/Planners,

on the one of the schedules that i’m updating, I have noticed that for some of the activities that are in progrees; those that have Actual Start but not yet finished, the remaining work bar does not start at the data date; instead, it seems to jump far ahead in time dirstubting the bar continum, and ofcourse producing a non-logical end date of the activity concerned, as well as the the following realted activities.

This problem seems to be related to calender (working days); rather it seems to be related to Remaing Early Start; changing RES to DD for the concerned correct the situation for that activity but not the related ones!!! and running the schedule again will cuz the RES to become irregular!!!

Anyone can help please, last progress meeting it was awfully embarressing... taaking into consideration that my boss is not related in no way to planning/scheduling...

thank you fellows,

Best Regards,

A quick answer...

This often happens when the predecessors have not finished in FS relationships.

If activity A is FS with activity B and B has started without A finishing then B will have a ’gap’. (The logic is saying that activity B cannot continue until A finishes in effect.) This happens when the scheduling is set to retained logic. If you change it progress override then you should not see any gap.

Hope this helps.

Cheers

Nige
