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, please can anyone help. I am trying to build a schedule for a 3year contract that has a lump sum limited liability contract for the first 6months. The plan is to use these first 6months to finalise and approve the design which will then be used to define the rest of the project in detail. There are bound to be budget allocation delays between these first 6 months and the rest of the project, bit the exact duration of the delay is uncertain. How do I build such a schedule intended for EVM without this break point causing reporting issues? I hope my question is clear. Thanks

Greeting!

Both options suggested by mike are workable.

Hi Tylor

Two possibilities

Put the break period in the calendar as a non work duration.

Set up a dummy task with a 24/7 calendar and link it FS to the real tasks.

Best regards
