Website Upgrade Incoming - we're working on a new look (and speed!) standby while we finalise 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.

Hi All,

In one of our projects, we have a situation as follows;

1. Baseline programme submitted and approved as noted.

2. Monthly basis updating is ongoing. It shows some delay because of the delay by client in allocating the site. We sent the EOT claim, but the client is not accepting it.

3. Few months later, client give instruction to reduce some scope as well as to add a few more sope of works. This changed the logic of the schedule and no more useful to compare with the original baseline (for performance measurement)

4.Discussions are ongoing to prepare a revised baseline and how. Is it acceptable to incorporate all the required changes(scope reduction/adding) in the original baseline and submit to client, or incorporate the changes in the current updated schedule (along with the client delays).  

 

Regards

Kannan

Hi Kanan

The revised programme must have logic that supports the revisions.

You should report progress against both programmes until you get agreement.

Best regards

Hi Mike,

By incorporating the new changes in the approved programme (adding/reducing the scope), few WBS will be removed and other few will be added. I believe that a new S-Curve can be created. To clarify, is it allowed to incorporate also the current construction logic in the revised baseline?

 

By keeping the original schedule (means the updated approved baseline schedule with the current situation and changes) for the updating process, which schedule it can be compared with for performance measurement(until the time client accept the revised baseline)

 

Regards

Kannan

Hi Kannan

Save the approved programme into a new file to incorporate the changes and show the revised completion date.

Keep the original for updating progress.

Most forms of contract do not allow a reduction in the programme for omission of work unless it is incorporated in a claim for EoT.

Best regards
