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.

Hi All

I am Using Primavera P6 Version 8.2.

I have made a programe that is neither loaded wioth cost nor  with resources.I am using Duration % Complete.After assigning the current project as baseline when I have updated the schedule I Found that Schedule % Complete is not rolled up to the summary Level.It is entered in front of each activity but not showing in the TOTAL "Band".Same is the case with PErformance % Complete.

 

Can any one tell me that what I am missing here

Raymund,

 

Thanks, got it sorted yesterday.

 

I made a rookie mistake, didnt update my baseline. After the update all was good.

Stephan,

Just assign the Baseline in the Primary Baseline. Do not assign on the Project Baseline.

Can anyone help please?

 

I have saved the baseline and is using it to calculate Schedule % Complete.

Im using an updated schedule to calculate performance % Complete.

 

Now my understanding is that when your baseline date is in progress your schedule % Complete will show progress. Now my baseline date has passed and my schedule % complete doesnt show progress. All my other activities show except a few activities. I have tried resource & cost loaded schedules, I have tried changing the settings when calculating but it doesnt work.

 

Please any help will be appreciated.

Hi

 

Performance % is used for Earned Value C alculations, as such cost being a metric is normal,,but the Schedule % complete using cost for calculating %complete (Goup Totals) at summary levels is not the right method. At activity level the Schedule % complete is based on duration.

 

A work around is to manually create a Planned (Schedule) Progress using update progress and viewing the Duration %complete, which summarizes and provides Group Totals using Durations.  

 

Regards

Shareef

This is strange as far as i remember there was a time when we never loaded resources or cost in our pragram still we have worked with schedule and performance percent complete.  I believe that their must be a way to get these two by using durations only.

Waiting for other experts

Schedule & Performance % complete are shown on Summary bars only if your programme is cost loaded. A quick work around is to assign the activity duration as a resource to the activities and give a value to the Price/Unit of the resource you have used.
