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.

what if the baseline is found to be wrong?  -  can you then claim that the project is behind or ahead when the baseline critical path has changed?

What do you mean baseline is wrong? Do you mean that the sequence of works cannot be executed based on the actual technical/ site conditions? or forecasted variables that may contribute to the delay of the project is not applicable to the implementation of the project? There are many circumstances wherein the baseline may not be applicable for implementation so kindly elaborate what you mean.

You have made two different statements. This first being "the baseline is wrong", and the 2nd being that the critical path has changed. Which of the two statements do wish to be considered when answering your question? 

What do you mean by "Wrong baseline"?

1. Have you assigned the incorrect baseline?

2. Is the official baseline itself not credible?

Saying the baseline is 'wrong' is like saying the contract is 'wrong'

Who accepted what?
